The Association of Resident Doctors, Kwara State University Teaching Hospital (ARD-KWASUTH), Kwara State, has vowed to sustain its industrial action and criticised the government for ignoring the welfare of the health workers in the state.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, December 2, Dr Abdulfatah Abdulazeez, the ARD-KWASUTH President, stated, “The state government has neither reached out nor attempted to engage us meaningfully since the strike commenced. This silence is not only disappointing but worsens the already demoralising conditions under which our members work.”
According to him, members of the association are owed accoutrement allowances for 2024 and 2025.
Highlighting the needs of the association members, he elaborated on the necessity for house officers and resident doctors.
Considering the unresolved issues, the president noted that the strike will continue until the state engages meaningfully with the union and fulfils its demands.
