Clinical lecturer at Ogbomoso’s Lautech University of Radock Akintola during a strike on Wednesday, due to unpaid salary, according to the merged Medical salary structure.
The strike lawsuit was confirmed in a statement issued by the President of the Association of Medical and Dental Consultants in Nigeria. Ruth Ilori, and secretary Abraham Akobola.
The lecturer said the action was taken after the final 21-day exercise given to university authorities without the need to fully implement the salary structure.
“The action became necessary after the authorities failed to meet our requirements after the final ATAM. Only universities in Southwest can adhere to the payment structure, leading to the loss of talent and setbacks in medical education,” Statement reading.
The lecturer calls on relevant stakeholders to intervene urgently, warning that continuing to ignore their demands could further undermine medical education in the country.
Meanwhile, last week, the Edo Prefecture government rejected the local government’s claim Workers owed wages Due to the so-called crisis in the Council.
On Monday, Governor Okpebholo, the chief press secretary of Fred Itua, described the rumors as false, naughty, and intended to mislead the public.
He urged Edo residents to ignore speculation and attribute it to women makers’ envy of the success recorded by the executive officer since taking office in November 2024 on Monday.
Itua reiterated the state’s commitment to workers’ welfare, clarifying that no government workers, including local government employees, owed any wages.
“All payments, including payments in January 2025, have been made in full.” He stressed.
Despite the challenges of distribution payments caused by ongoing legal disputes between the state and some struggling local government chairmen, the government said it continues to pay local government workers without losses.
