The Association of Resident Doctors  at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, Ogun State, have embarked on an indefinite strike over the non-payment of appropriate remuneration, hazard allowances and unfair treatment of government to their plight as they battle the novel COVID-19 in the state.

The letter jointly signed by the union’s President, Dr. POPOOLA MUTIU, and the General Secretary, Dr. OSUNDARA TOPE, said the association had resolved to embark on this strike while holding talks with the government over their demands which is legitimate, fair and just as the medical personnel battle against COVID-19.
