Resident doctors at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, staged a protest over poor working conditions, understaffing, and unpaid wage arrears. They demanded urgent action from the Oyo State Government and the hospital management. In a statement, the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, led by President Dr Mustapha Adedapo and PR Officer Dr Abdulrahman Fofie, highlighted the challenging conditions under which they operate.
They emphasized the need for basic human dignity, fair compensation, and proper funding for medical residency training. The doctors also called out the Oyo State Governor, the state government, hospital management, and other stakeholders to help resolve their demands. They urged for an end to understaffing, unpaid minimum wage arrears, unfulfilled allowance promises, and the dilapidated conditions in call rooms.
The protest was prompted by earlier concerns raised by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) about the shortage of resident doctors at the hospital, particularly in specialties like Anaesthesia, Chemical Pathology, and Haematology.
