The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has taken a decisive step towards resolving the lingering industrial dispute at the Futa Teaching Hospital, Akure, by inviting the leadership of Organised Labour in Ondo State to a high-level engagement aimed at restoring industrial harmony and ensuring the delivery of uninterrupted healthcare services at the hospital.
In a letter signed on behalf of the Permanent Secretary by the Deputy Director, Festus Igbinosun, the Ministry informed the Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Ondo State Chapter, that a delegation from the Ministry would visit the hospital on Friday, July 24 2026 to address the issues surrounding the persistent disruption of services and other matters affecting the smooth running of the hospital.
The meeting, scheduled to be held at the Boardroom of the Futa Teaching Hospital, follows a report submitted by the hospital’s Management to the Health Ministry on the recurring industrial actions and is intended to provide a platform for constructive dialogue among all stakeholders.
The intervention comes shortly after the successful completion of the Federal Government’s transition programme for the former UNIMED Teaching Hospital, Akure, by which it became the Futa Teaching Hospital.
