The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals (NUAH) at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan has initiated an indefinite strike. This action stems from the alleged non-implementation of a Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare recommendation concerning disciplinary proceedings involving the Director of Pharmaceutical Services, Adeyinka Ishola.
The union, which represents 13 out of 15 categories of allied health professionals at the hospital, announced the strike in a letter to its members, claiming the hospital management has refused to carry out the ministry's verdict. The dispute is centered around the sale of a tricycle donated to the Pharmacy Department and subsequent disciplinary action against Ishola.
NUAHP Chairperson, Oladayo Olabampe, stated that the union is demanding the implementation of the ministry's recommendation for Ishola's reprimand and reinstatement. The ministry's independent investigation concluded that Ishola was not guilty of any fraud, only guilty of inadequate communication during the tricycle's sale. However, hospital management disputes this, insisting that the ministry's verdict is not final.
The union maintains that Ishola is not guilty of fraud, despite minor administrative errors. The strike is set to commence on September 16, 2026, until the union's demands are met.
