National update:
Lagos State doctors commence a 3-day warning strike today, Monday, 12th July 2020.
This is in view of government’s failure to meet their demands. This is in spite an additional 2 weeks’s grace given the government after an initial warning strike.
The planned action was announced on Sunday by the Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the Medical Guild, Dr Oluwajimi Sodipo.
The doctors have resolved to commence the strike following the expiration of the ultimatum given to the State Government. The doctors cited the wage disparity between them and Federal employed doctors as one of the issues they expected the government to address.
