Resident doctors at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH) in Ogun State begin a 10-day warning strike, citing unpaid professional and specialist allowances. The doctors also cite manpower shortages and poor welfare conditions as reasons for the industrial action.
According to reports, the strike runs as a warning period and follows demands made by the resident doctors’ association. One report says the association imposes a fine of ₦50,000 on any member found disobeying the strike directive during the 10-day period.
Another report adds that the dispute results in service disruption at the hospital, describing OOUTH as paralysed as doctors withdraw from routine duties during the warning strike.
The outlets agree that the action is specifically linked to unpaid allowances and broader workplace concerns, including staffing levels and welfare arrangements, but they provide limited detail on whether the hospital management or the relevant authorities have responded or set out a timetable for addressing the demands.
