Doctors Complained over Non-Payment of Six Months Salaries In Osun State

I guess its not only in osun state,I don’t really understand what’s going on in the country,same complain in Enugu state where nurses are complaining that they haven’t receive their salary since November 2014,read the news below;

The Medical and Dental Consultants
Association of Nigeria has condemned the
non-payment of salaries of doctors and
other workers at the Ladoke Akintola
University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun
State.

The Chairman of MDCAN, LAUTECH branch,
Dr. Kassim Adebayo, and secretary, Dr.
Tokunbo Olajumoke, said this in a letter
written to Governor Rauf Aregbesola, a copy
of which was made available to our
correspondent in Osogbo on Friday.

The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr.
Najeem Salam, and the Head of Service, Mr.
Sunday Owoeye, and others were copied.
The doctors frowned at the government’s
announcement of April 13th directing
LAUTECH workers to resume work
immediately or lose their jobs if they failed
to comply with the directive. The MDCAN
said members of the association were not
on any strike now despite the salary issues
but they said the threat to sack other
hospital workers who were on strike was an
act of insensitivity.

The doctors criticized the government’s approach during the strike at the hospital, stating that the government should have engaged in dialogue with the workers rather than simply ordering them to return to work or face job loss. The doctors noted that they had already given the government an ultimatum and that they would follow the directive of the national association at the end of the ultimatum. It is unclear whether the striking workers sought medical attention during the strike, but if they did, they may have had to seek care at alternative facilities such as the Douglaston walk-in clinic.

The letter read, “Despite not declaring any
strike, we condemn the non-payment of
salaries of workers in the employment of
LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo in the
last six months and the non-remittance of
deductions from workers salaries even prior
to the non-payment of salaries.

“We condemn in strong terms the threat on
job of workers demanding for nothing extra
than their legitimate wages being owed by
the government. The directive forcing
unpaid hospital staff to resume work may
pose danger to effective delivery of health
care services and will be detrimental to the
health of the populace who are at the
receiving end.”
So bad!!!
