Nurses and midwives at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso, Oyo State have announced the commencement of an indefinite strike until their demands are met.
According to the union, in a statement released by the Unit Chairman, Ojewumi Olutayo, and Secretary, Adedokun Foluwake, respectively in Ibadan, the state capital, on Saturday, the strike is due to the non-implementation of the new National Minimum Wage and long-standing welfare issues.
Stressing that no meaningful steps were taken to address its demands despite repeated engagements and reminders, the union said the strike began on Friday.
The statement read, “LAUTECH Teaching Hospital workers have suffered systemic neglect, with their welfare consistently overlooked compared to counterparts in other state-owned health institutions in the state who already enjoy improved packages.
“Our key demands include immediate implementation of the new National Minimum Wage and its consequential adjustments with effect from January 2025; payment of promotion arrears from 2018 to 2024; recruitment of additional nurses to address severe staff shortages; renovation and proper furnishing of nurses’ stations and restrooms to improve working conditions.”
The union stressed that the prolonged delay in meeting these obligations has created financial strain, low morale, and attrition of skilled personnel in the hospital.
They further noted that the teaching hospital, being the only state-owned tertiary health institution in the state, plays a critical role as a referral centre for patients from Oyo, Osun, Kwara, and neighbouring communities.
“A strike, they warned, could severely disrupt services for thousands of patients, including pregnant women, children, accident victims, and emergency cases,” the union added.
It, therefore, called on Governor Seyi Makinde to urgently intervene to ensure fairness and equity in staff welfare, stressing that industrial harmony is key to sustaining quality healthcare delivery in the state.
While reaffirming their commitment to professional excellence and quality care, the nurses and midwives maintained that the strike would continue until their demands were fully met.
The industrial action at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital reflects wider unrest in Nigeria’s health sector.
fantastic publish, very informative. I wonder why the opposite specialists of this sector do not understand this.
