Members of the National Association of Nurses and Midwives working at the General Hospital, Ilorin on Thursday downed tools in protest against what they described as poor and risky condition of work.

They also complained of non supply of Personal Protective Equipment to safeguard them while treating suspected COVID-19 patients brought to the hospital.

The nurses also said they worked two shifts of 10-14 hours daily without provision of call food or allowances as being provided for some other health workers. While accusing the government and top management of disregarding their letter where they pointed out their challenges and the risk involved in the course of their work, the protesting health workers vowed not to resume work until the issues were addressed.

Efforts to get the response of the state government proved abortive as the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Raji Razak, did not pick all calls made to his telephone while the text message sent to the number was not replied as at the time of filing this report.

FabolousBanji Who swear for this country like dis 😭😭

Yes

Why on earth do you have to use the picture of UBTH Nurses...are you people ok

Shebi China doctors are in Nigeria now, why is our poor Nigerian drs and nurses still bothering themselves ?

I support their protest but IF this image attached to this tweet is how they went about it then I am disappointed.

Good. Doctors should even join them

Punch toilet paper please stop ur fake news now no strike in kwara State

jidealexoni This govt no get shame. In the midst of this pandemic

Won japa

olayemi_123 Jaw jaw sometimes is better than war war. Engaging medical personnels in this kind of adventure without adequate medical equipment is a suicide mission. They also have families. Gov should do the needful plss.

This so painful at a time like this apc Nigeria government still playing hanky panky govt system

Here we go again..

DrEOEhanire are you aware of this?

Abeg mek una stay at home, u also get Families

The Governor dose not know there is no protective wear🤔

No comment

Imamofpeace

My Country we deserve better.

Mess country

Jack ma donation nko?

🤦🏾‍♂️

I don’t want to hear pim! O’to ge

Don't worry the Chinese doctors are here. You can go home. Thanks for your earlier commitments. We're proud of you all.

dondekojo O’toge 😂😂😂

I am sure this is also SARAKI'S FAULT... Hahahahaha...

Yet your FG is bringing in chinese doctors who will be provided all they need to do whatever it is they came to do (such an irony) and saying hazard allowance for doctors is unnecessary... God! Innocent bloods are on y'alls hands!

If this was Oyo state, BMC handles would've been wanking all over the thread

Please start to make enquires abt opportunities in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. Consider brushing up your English language skills to enable quick processing of your work visa. Don’t hesitate to leave a society tht has no value for your job, your profession & your life.

Hope you stay your ground until you get the correct PPE. Coronavirus is real and lots of health workers, especially nurses and doctors are dying from the disease. Politicians can’t be stealing public fund and live in luxury at home and abroad and expect you to die in untimely.

BabalolaFarouq Cc OlaitDele154 ard_uith

Afolabi40878165 lmao

You can't strike during a pandemic and stage a gathering for a protest like this..whats wrong with this country.

This is crazy. How can they care for covid positive clients without PPEs

Hoo disappointed governments

Am sure they will have to listen

I like it like that

Okay!!!! It’s going down

Everything that enters Nigeria always turn out to be regrettable . I'm sure oga corona has regretted coming to Nigeria

Dead nation

UncleChike_ But Jack Ma supplied this and NCDC distributed to states in Nigeria

What a sow of shame

Government should take fast movement over this issue, before is too late God bless kwara state, God bless Nigeria

I thought it was donated and also billions was giving to Nigerian govt. So they chop the money and want our nurses to kiss corona virus. Stay at home they are protesting; govt self busy enjoying money.

sandybrownx 🤦🏽‍♀️

This a big disgrace?

Is this a joke ?

Another one

Otoge

Ah ah

Too Bad for d state

I guess Saraki is still the governor.

Correct !!!!no PPE no work. Like say the change they pay us as nurses is not enough

Thank you

M in support of this. wack government

Provide it for them for Christ sake.... Why una dey fall hand like this

Sigh

So where all this billions come they go 😷

And let's the whole world know that health workers receives 5k for hazard in Nigeria.

Have you seen soldiers going to war,without wearing their Camouflage 🤔❓ Welcome to Nigeria

God will help us ...

Is the governor or commissioner aware 🙄

ogun state,and d landlords and tenants have turn them sefs to watch guards since the police have refused to answer them,please sir/ma do something it is getting out of hands already PoliceNG ElkanaBala AcpIshaku frankmbablog KemiOlunloyo segalink citizen_gavel ifounrest

These Yahoo men nor settle them?

And the FOOLISH FG GOVT spent $12millions to import Chinese Doctors

chaplinez70 It really didn’t have to get to this, but....

Only us go import doctors and export patients. Why problem nor go dey?

Imamofpeace We are in such a shameless nation. Imagine, importing Chinese doctors with millions of dollars and our health workers here lacking personal protective equipment. .. SMH

Love this!!!

Please share this more... We left our own and went for Chinese doctors , imagine this joke?

Na so. Make de go bring their Chinese doctors.

Kris_beee Good Move💪

The only language the Government understands is strike, very unfortunate, even though there is shortage of PPE all over the world that of Nigeria is exceptional. When a suspected case of COVID 19 was brought in ABU Medical Center in Zaria, offices closed for lack of PPE.

Sen Bukola Saraki is the cause. He cornered all the protective wears to his family. Haqhaqhaqhaqhaq...

Way to go

Good one speak up

Whete is Busola Saraki in all this,is he not responsible for this too?

This is what we are talking about

The Governor's aides are telling us their boss is a baby who wants praise for doing the wrong things. projecting him like he's mentally deficient, even realities can't be clouded. When there are no PPEs and staff are really grumbling at facility centres.

Who wan die? Without PPE, health workers & family members will be at risk.

When we said RealAARahman is not ready with COVID 19 but propaganda they think we are said it because of politics thank God it's clear to the nation that kwara state govnt is lie to us

Psychiatric patients would say the nurses are not patriotic.

The same people that were paid to say “otoge”.. enjoy your new government.

I commend you people our front line heros the real soldiers

Next level/ oto geh

A failed Nation in the making

Otoge🤣🤣🤣

I don't know how truth is this but is it quite cray

Let's go there

It is high time we teach all this looters some lesson. No better time.

Is this happening.why all this ,how much will it cost govt to provide this they will not,money it's a No why are they leading us.too bad.

Saraki is not doing well at all.

The ignorant of Gov. AA Totally set back for Kwarans

The APC governor wants to use the nurses for NextLevel sacrifices. Go & check the financial records of the state and you would find that money had been budgeted & released for the protective wears but the NextLevel miracle has taken place with respect to its usage.

They should sit at home to be safe and let the 12 Chinese take over now. They can't make home better. They are parents, children and siblings of somebody and we want them safe. PLEASE STAY HOME

Toor!!! 😒

The government of the day is a scammer

Lets gather around to say a prayer for Kwara state!!

Lobatan.

The current administration is a failure and doesn't have anything to offer people of Kwara state

So unfortunate that we are facing this situation in Nigeria. What happened to all the money donated and budgeted?

This is very sad

Only in Nigeria oh

And dey use $2m to bring Chinese Dr. They should send them to kwara

Naija, they can't even provide safety materials

Hmmm! No wears? Two trillion can’t be accountable for. SMH

This Corona don expose many things sha

Otoge kwara

Nawa for this Country, which way Nigeria, what are we doing, what's happening now?

You never see anything. Ótoge never dey do you well?

See these ones o! I don't think these ones believed that Covid-19 really exist! Protest at this time they know the disease is right out there. No distance in between them! Vampires all overrrrrrrrr

There we go 🤣🤣🤣

Follow StraightnewsM for latest news, retweet our post and stand a chance to win cash price in our weekly give away

This country self is just sick

Great. Delta...

So none of them is wise enough to use nose mask. They are health workers for God's sake. Fake news, nah we Nigerians gangan be our problem. Some ppl would have screenshot this and put on their TL too.

U got my support 100%

SEzekwesili What kind of country is this? 🤦‍♀

They should all go home since these politicians don't care about their lives

Oh no.

Better

The same thing is happening in most of the teaching hospitals across the Country but they are busy importing Chinese doctors. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Any small thing, strike!! Nawa oo... Why the state government dey fall hand na

This is turning to something else oooo

They are busy importing Chinese Virus. Sorry doctors. Our own we don’t support neither do we acknowledge the good work they are doing

Good for them, before they get home and infect their families.

To get anything in this Allah forsaken country you must protest. It is a shame

Crisis is brewing .

Imagine the country we giant of Africa shame to our fucking leaders.

Hmmmmmmm

Lol

Nigeria my country... Smh

easyhopes i remembered that you are one of the covidiots that came on segalink TL to defend kwara state governor for wearing a mask meant for healthworkers. Una don sell una soul oooo and brain to the devil finally !!!!

This is not good!

What a pity

Any nurse or doctor that strike during this time is not in the right proffessional.

Where is the Billions of Naira donated by individuals and cooperate organization to curb Covid-19. Those money can be use to procure personal protective Equipment (PPE) for our medical personnel.

And FG used $2m to bring those Chinese doctors in our country 🙆I weep for Nigeria 😢

Same should happen on Akure

After over 30 billion donations.. CursedNation

MrUsifo I know Gov RealAARahman wouldn't want to risk the lives of our mothers and Fathers like that. Pls, provide protective gears and other necessity. Hazard allowance also should be critically considered. This are desperate times; we need desperate measures.

They didn’t give us anything to protect ourselves,we keep working everyday 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Saraki why?

No fake news go kiss you ..

Another Otoge movement 😁😁

We are not ready in this country

Kwaratine

Call in the Chinese doctors

Otoge!

Must you people go on strike over everything?

It is there right I don't blame them

The APC government is useless. Corruption won't allow them do what is right.

Let's start a trend, protectivewearsforhealthworkers

Please ooo, Your SAFETY first! Don't waste your Life for nothing

Way to go💪🏾 They're willing to pay billions to import doctors yet they find it difficult to provide basic PPE for health wokers to work with. They've shown countless times that they don't care about our wellbeing.

The government should provide for them.

I regret been a Nigeria

Nigeria is a mess

Good

Thank you for your action. 🙏🙏🙏 This is what you need to do for the world to see the failure of the Government. 👍 No protective wear, no risking our life for anyone. No one can travel overseas for medical treatment again... We are suffering together and dying together. 🙏🙏

Haaa,in this era of covid-19.

See gone

But Nigeria government can use $2m to import Chinese doctors 😂

But why on earth would the government not provide PPE's 😳? This is bizzare

Kwara Nurses Commend Governor RealAARahman for his dogged commitment, dismisses strike rumour

Look at the foolish govt we have idiot people 1trilliongang . office na bank in Nigeria. Come tell me say one get office burn

Ok oooooooooo

And the lockdown will start today... Kwara never get ready at all...

Nigeria just tire me

RealAARahman kwaragovt Pls look into this.

OTOGE

Beta that is the beta

Way to go before they start becoming victims.

This is serious!

All Doctors n Nurses should follow suit

Haba!!! At this time? Why will Saraki deprived them of PPE?

Kwara doing everything to get their own stimulus fund from the Federal government.

Our Nurses lack protective wears but the Chinese medical will enjoy goodies worth billions of Naira.... Abeg who do us like this for Nigeria

And what if one of this nurses has been contacted with COVID-19, is this gathering not too alarming to withstand?

Otoge geng ti gbe won ni over 2.5 😂😂😂 OyatoyeEmmanuel

I weep for my country I weep for my country men Just tell me one sector that is working in Nigeria.
