The Medical Guild, the umbrella association for all medical and dental practitioners employed by the Lagos State Government, has embarked on a a three-day warning strike over salary reductions.
The Medical Guild, in a recent statement, frowned at the state government for unilaterally deducting the salaries of all Medical practitioners in its employ without a prior notice.
The statement signed by Dr Japhet Olugbogi, the Chairman and Dr Adekunle Akinade, the Secretary, lamented that the Lagos State government will implement a sudden pay cut during this time of economic hardship across the country.
According to the statement, the medical practitioner later engaged the state government on the issue, with the government reverting to the old pay after consultations.
A joint conciliation committee was also set up to reconcile the areas of disagreement between the doctors and the government.
