Doctors ends strike in Ekiti

Doctors in Ekiti State has suspended the three-day warning strike embarked on to protest the failure of the government to pay its members’ entitlements.

The industrial action, which began on Monday, was suspended indefinitely following government’s readiness to meet some of the demands outlined by organised labour at a meeting held midnight Sunday.

Despite the action taken to pacify the aggrieved labour leaders, the strike was successful yesterday before the dramatic turn of events, as workers complied with the labour’s directive, by shunning their duty posts.

Our correspondent, who visited the new secretariat on new Iyin Road and the old Governor’s Office at Oke Ori Omi, observed that offices were deserted, while few workers were seen performing skeletal duties.

Activities at the Ekiti State Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti were crippled, as doctors shunned their duty posts except those in the National Health Insurance Scheme.
