Omo! This one no be small wahala, o! The doctors wey dey for Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals don talk say dem ready to join nationwide strike wey the national body plan. Dem wan push di government make dem upgrade their conditions of service, no be joke!
For statement wey dem sign, Dr Jesunbo Martins and Dr Toyyeb Oladipo no gree follow back; dem say dem no fit endure the palava wey una dey put dem through. E dey show say, 83 resident doctors just dey suffer for OAUTHC, and 40 of dem no see salary for like ten to fourteen months! E don too much like this!
Dem don call on Federal Government make dem quick pay the salary wey dey owe dem and settle all the correct entitlements wey dem employees suppose enjoy. But na only when dem see wahala for ground, dem go fit calm all this matter wey dey face dem now.
Friday, January 12, 2026, na di day wey dem go jam remove their services, o! If to say they dey open for gists like sweet pepper soup, but dis matter no be play. Dem go even get peaceful protests wey go happen as part of di agenda.
De whole thing no just stop dey; dem dey insist make dia demands dey clear-cut with timeline. Dem wan dat five doctors wey dem share wahala with for Federal Teaching Hospital Lokoja, make dem return back to their posts, no be small matter, o!
Dem also dey shout for full implementation of Professional Allowance Table wey dey affect dem. The list of demands no get any form o street, wey dey include clarify all the confusion about skipping and entry-level placement matter.
According to dem, make dem no forget about House Officers wey dey owe salary; dem need make dem sign pay advisory. You fit feel di tension if you see dem dey report even di time wey OAUTHC no go dey as dem never see changes. Nap segment wey go affect every Nigerian directly!
Laos, make I enter di most wahala gist matter. Naija na major stakeholder, and dis one no go fit cover hands regarding Health Ministry wey dey stall the agreements wey dem don already sign. Di thing don become like daya wo dey go south, and nobody sure weh di road dey go finish!
Meanwhile, some people from Concerned Citizens of Nigeria don carry mouth enter di matter too. Dem dey accuse di resident doctors say dem dey join foot with di African Democratic Congress (ADC) to scatter di health system wey don dey shaky since. E be like say dem dey see shadow where e no dey!
Na true wey di group talk say NARD dey act militant! Dem no say ‘una fit do better.’ But bad gists just dey fly from all angle, abi wetin di government don do to meet these demands? Na 70% dem say dem don meet – dem still dey talk say dem go soon pay any remaining arrears. Na once dem go fit come check di truth!
Dem stress say di Federal Government should no only meet dem halfway but also make healthcare better as e fit bring disaster when dem go strike. Di people wey dey suffer na dem wey no fit travel go treat dem self abroad; if doctors down tools, wetin go happen?
So my people, we dey watch as dis saga dey unfold—we go keep una updated! But for now, make we just dey pray make dem settle this gberan gberan wey de rise like turbo!
