UCH Ibadan doctors, nurses shun nationwide strike

By Meletus EZE

The University College Hospital, Ibadan has remained open to patients in need of medical attention in spite of the nationwide strike called by the organised labour.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had on Wednesday called on all its members and affiliate unions to join its 7-day nationwide warning strike beginning on Thurs, Sept. 27 over the non-payment of a new national minimum wage.

Checks conducted at the teaching hospital revealed a high turnout of workers, who were seen attending to patients.

A resident doctor, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that the National Association of Resident Doctors and the Nigeria Medical Association were not part of the strike called by the NLC and the Trade Unions Congress (TUC).

A nurse said that it was business as usual as they had not been given any formal notice of the strike.

Speaking with the Public Relations Officer, UCH, Mr Deji Bobade, said that staffers of the hospital had not received a formal notice of a strike.

Bobade added that to that end, all workers of the hospital were expected at their duty posts.
