The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals at University College Hospital, Ibadan has initiated an indefinite strike against the hospital's management. The cause of the industrial action is the alleged refusal of management to implement the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare's recommendation regarding the disciplinary case involving Director of Pharmaceutical Services, Adeyinka Ishola.
The dispute revolves around the sale of a tricycle donated to the Pharmacy Department, with Ishola being accused of fraud. The union believes that the Ministry's recommendation for Ishola's reprimand and reinstatement should be followed, whereas the hospital management has refused to do so. The union, which represents 13 out of 15 categories of allied health professionals at the hospital, claims that they have tried multiple times to resolve the issue through dialogue but to no avail.
The strike commenced on September 16, 2026, and will continue until the demands of the union are met. The controversy surrounding the tricycle's disposal and ownership remains a focal point of the dispute.
