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.
