Ekiti to doctors: suspend strike action in people’s interest

The Ekiti State government has called on doctors under the aegis of National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners to suspend its industrial action in the interest of the people.

In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Thursday by the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Muyiwa Olumilua, the government denied the allegation raised by doctors that Ekiti 19 general and three specialist hospitals as well as over primary health centres are currently experiencing acute shortage of health professionals.

“Once again, Government appeals to the striking doctors under the aegis of NAGGMDP to reconsider their position and return to their duty posts immediately. Continuing with this ill-timed strike action will only put the lives of Ekiti residents at more risk during this COVID-19.
