NMA urges Makinde to pay LAUTECH resident doctors’ outstanding arrears

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has urged Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, to take immediate action on the outstanding arrears and welfare issues faced by resident doctors at the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso. In a letter dated September 5, 2026, the NMA expressed deep concern over the unresolved welfare challenges and the failure to implement several agreements reached with the state government over the past few months.

These issues include the payment of 2025 minimum wage arrears, the 2026 Medical Residency Training Fund, and the correction of professional allowances and call/work hour policies. The NMA warned that these problems directly impact patient safety and healthcare outcomes in Oyo State, urging the governor to intervene and ensure the timely resolution of these matters within 30 days.
