Doctors of the Ondo Government Doctors Forum, have commenced an indefinite strike over half salary payments for November 2020.
“Doctors in Ondo are working under harsh conditions. We cannot work from home. It is unfathomable that we are being paid half salary. We are not insensitive to the hardship this action will bring. It is our hope that the government will get back to us,” Dr. Omolayo Olubosede, spokesperson for the doctors, said.
Dr. Olubosede said the body had written to the state governor to inform him of their difficulties, but had gotten no reply.
The decision to strike was reached after an emergency meeting of the forum, where the doctors established that they cannot survive on part salaries.
