UCH RESIDENT DOCTORS BEGIN INDEFINITE STRIKE
Members of the Association of Resident Doctors at University College Hospital in Ibadan have embarked on an indefinite strike.
The Association’s General Secretary, Dr Uthman Adedeji, told the press in Ibadan, Oyo State capital that the strike was due to a power outage in some of the hospital’s residential areas.
It would be recalled that the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, reconnected UCH on Wednesday, after more than 100 days of power outage.
The association had earlier issued a communiqué that members would embark on an indefinite strike if electricity was not restored no later than 4 p.m. on Monday.
Adedeji said while electricity had been restored, only some parts of the residential quarters were reconnected.
He added that the association is left with no other option than to embark on the earlier planned total and indefinite strike until all residential quarters are reconnected.
