The Nigerian Medical Association has appealed to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, to urgently address outstanding arrears and welfare-related issues affecting resident doctors at the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso.
In a letter dated September 5, 2026, and signed by the NMA President, Dr. Afekhide Omoti, the association expressed “deep concern” over the persistent welfare challenges facing members of the Association of Resident Doctors in the hospital.
The NMA said several agreements reached with the Oyo State Government remained unimplemented despite months of advocacy by the resident doctors.
Among the outstanding issues are the payment of 2025 minimum wage arrears, the 2026 Medical Residency Training Fund, implementation of the corrected professional allowances table, full implementation of the call/work hour regulatory policy, and payment of upgrade and promotion arrears.
