The members, sang solidarity songs, displayed placards with the inscriptions including “enough of out of drugs and consumables,” enough of mal-administration by human resources officers.”

While reacting to the strike, the hospital’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Olabisi Ajiboye, said the management would look into the matter with a view to addressing their grievances.

The development is coming on the heels of the ongoing strike by members of the Association of Resident Doctors of the teaching hospital which has entered its third week.
