The Association of Resident Doctors, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Chapter (LASUTH-ARD), has said that its members might not resume work even if the ongoing nationwide doctors’ strike ends.

The President of the chapter, Dr Azeez Ojekunle, disclosed this at a news conference in Lagos.

“We hereby set the record straight to citizens of Lagos that there are several local issues affecting the Lagos State Chapter of NARD and the healthcare delivery system.

“The LASUTH-ARD, in a show of unparalleled patriotism, has been engaging the government since past years with several correspondences and meetings.

“However, it has been series of unfulfilled promises after four months’ grace period since suspension of the strike.

“Following perceived insensitivity from the government despite all diplomatic measures explored, we were left with no other option than an avoidable industrial action.

“Today marks the 33rd day of the strike with no end in sight at the Lagos State and national levels,” he said.
