Following an alleged failure by the government to pay hazard allowance, 450 doctors in state-owned health facilities across Ogun State are planning an indefinite strike and suspension of services beginning September 1.
The government has, however, pledged to pay the hazard allowance, even as it urged the healthcare providers to be humane in their dealings with the government and the people as “savers of lives”.
Ondo state’s health commissioner, Banji Ajaka, when asked about the alleged frequent casualties at Ayetoro PHC, said “there is really no way you can prevent people from dying.”
