Osun state seizes doctors’salaries over strike

The Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, may have ordered the stoppage of salaries of doctors in the employment of the state over the strike which started since September 28, last year.

Investigation by our correspondent in Osogbo on Sunday revealed that while some categories of workers had been paid their October and November salaries, doctors had not been paid for the month of October.

The state government had threatened to sack all the striking doctors if they failed to resume work on December 25. The doctors dared the governor but the next step which would be taken by the governor was not known yet.

However some doctors, who spoke to our correspondent, said they were ready to be sacked than to treat their patients with divided attention.
