Information at the disposal of Olufamous.com is that the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has ordered the sacking of all the striking doctors on the payroll of the state government.
Fashola’s action was in response to the refusal of the doctors to end their strike, which has lasted for over two weeks.
From what I gathered, the implementation of the Governor's order began immediately as the affected doctors started receiving their sack letters on Monday morning.
The doctors had proceeded on an indefinite strike on April 24 after they were summoned to face a disciplinary panel for participating in an earlier 3-day warning strike.
The doctors demand is the full implementation of the Consolidated Medical Salary Scale for all doctors in Lagos State, a demand which the state government see as unreasonable.
I hear the Fashola administration has already concluded plans to replace them with "more sensitive and dedicated doctors".
Is Fashola now a dictor in Lagos State?? How come he's acting like he is the only governor in Nigeria? Love
