Implement MoU on FUTATH, Akure Group Urges Aiyedatiwa
An Akure, Ondo State socio-cultural organization, the Ooye Development Initiatives, (ODI) has appealed to the state government to resolve the current impasse between it and the Federal University of Technology, Akure Teaching Hospital, (FUTATH) and organized labour by fully implementing its part of the FG-State government agreement.
Organized Labour in the state, comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has embarked on an indefinite strike action in the hospital from Monday, which according to it, was to press for the resolution of all issues related to capturing of staff nominal roll, in line with the MoU signed between the state and federal government.
In a release issued by the ODI and signed by its President, Mr. Muyiwa Jegede, such strike action would have a negative effect on the people of the state capital especially, as well as hamper general healthcare in the hospital, which could result in losses of lives.
An MoU had earlier been signed by the state and federal governments on the founding, funding and mutual responsibilities of each, towards the smooth development of the hospital.
