The Association of Resident Doctors at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, have embarked on an indefinite strike.
The doctors cited the failure of the hospital management and the state government to address their long-standing demands as the reason for the industrial action.
On April 8, the doctors suspended a month-long strike to give the hospital management and the state government time to meet their demands.
Three months after suspending the strike, the doctors sent a letter to the hospital’s Chief Medical Director, Prof Olawale Olakulehin, issuing a three-week ultimatum for the management to meet their outstanding demands.
The letter, dated July 8, 2025, and titled “Re: Notice of industrial action,” said its congress agreed to grant a grace period of three weeks, during which formal notifications would be sent to relevant stakeholders, including the Oyo State Government and the hospital management, to encourage prompt action on the unresolved issues.
The letter, obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, read, “The congress acknowledges and appreciates the management’s efforts in addressing parts of its demands, particularly the payment of upgrade arrears and the refund of examination/update course fees.
“However, it regrets to note the continued non-implementation of critical outstanding demands. Punch
