Speaking on behalf of the disengaged workers, their spokesperson, Mr Samson Falope, explained that the hospital management served them a circular last week Wednesday, disengaging over 1,500 workers from their duty posts after serving the institution for about 15 months without any salary.
Mr Falope noted that the sacked workers had made an attempt to seek an audience with the Management of the hospital but all to no avail.
Some armed policemen on Monday chased away protesters who were armed with placards at the main entrance of the hospital.
