The Ogun State Government on Saturday said that it has launched a comprehensive investigation into a reported physical assault on a nursing student by a doctor at the State Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta.
The Commissioner for Health, Dr Tomi Coker, disclosed this in a statement issued by the Ministry’s media officer, Mr. Gbadamosi Adegoke.

And upon receiving the report, the government has promptly initiated an investigation to address the matter through the Civil Service redress process.”
The statement reassured the public of the government’s zero tolerance to abuse, calling for calm among the affected quarters as justice would be served in due course.
