Residents Doctors at the University College Hospital (UCH),on Tuesday commenced indefinite strike over power supply cut into their hostels.
At a press conference, the association’s General Secretary, Dr Uthman Adedeji lamented the prolonged blackout in the doctor’s residential quarters
According to him, the indefinite strike followed the expiration of the Monday February 17 ultimatum by the association.
He said while electricity had been restored at the hospital, only some parts of the residential quarters were reconnected.
He added:“Arising from the just-concluded Emergency General Meeting of ARD UCH which was convened to appraise the current situation, it was observed that a part of the residential quarters were reconnected.
“In the light of the prevailing circumstance, we are left with no other option than to embark on the earlier planned total and indefinite strike until all residential quarters are sorted (taken care of).
“We acknowledge the efforts of UCH Management towards meeting our demand, but a lot needs to be done to guarantee uninterrupted service delivery.”
Adedeji promised that the association would regularly review the current imbroglio infringing on the welfare of its members.
