University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan workers under the aegis of the Joint Action Committee, JAC says it is taking steps to resolve the lingering crisis with the Management.
In a statement, joint Chairman, Mr Oladayo Olabampe and Secretary Mr Alabi Victor say JAC has been reaching out to well-meaning Nigerians for an amicable solution.
The statement points out that the workers were complying with the 8 am to 4 pm duty in line with the unions’ directive, stressing that the welfare of patients and staff remains a top priority and encouraging the staff to remain calm.
The crux of the crisis, according to the JAC, was the refusal of workers to resume night duties as directed by UCH’s management, due to a power outage.
The hospital management had, as a consequence, threatened the workers.
In a related development, the Association of Resident Doctors, UCH, has expressed solidarity with all health workers, concerning the sub-par working conditions.
This is contained in a statement by the President of the association, Dr John Oladapo.
Dr Oladapo said patient care had been hampered while hazard risk to hospital workers had increased.
Dr Oladapo stressed that medical doctors would remain available at their duty post to provide care and services needed by patients.
