Members of the Association of Resident Doctors at University College Hospital in Ibadan have embarked on an indefinite strike.
The association’s General Secretary, Dr Uthman Adedeji, told the newsmen in Ibadan, Oyo State capital that the strike was due to a power outage in some of the hospital’s residential areas.
Recall The association had earlier issued a communique that members would embark on an indefinite strike if electricity was not restored no later than 4 p.m. on Monday.
Adedeji said while electricity had been restored, only some parts of the residential quarters were reconnected.
He said, “Arising from the just-concluded Emergency General Meeting of ARD UCH which was convened to appraise the current situation, it was observed that a part of the residential quarters were reconnected. “Some other parts were however left in darkness.
“In the light of the prevailing circumstance, we are left with no other option than to embark on the earlier planned total and indefinite strike until all residential quarters are sorted (taken care of).
