Ekiti Doctors to Begin Strike at Midnight on Friday in Protest of Poor Welfare Conditions

At midnight on Friday, March 17, the Ekiti State chapter of the National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners (NAGGMP) will begin a strike due to the alleged neglect of the state’s health sector. The state government was given until 11:59p.m on Friday to address the issues raised by the group. In a letter addressed to the state governor, Abiodun Oyebanji, and signed by the group’s Chairman, Alo Akinleye, and Secretary, Olajide Abimbola, NAGGMP highlighted its challenges and demanded a prompt resolution. These issues include pay disparity among doctors in the state, an inadequate workforce, and that entry-level of newly employed doctors should be grade level 13 as it is in other parts of the country.
