Ogun Doctors Suspend Strike After Payment Assurance

Doctors at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital in Sagamu, Ogun State, have suspended their ongoing 10-day warning strike after the Ogun State Government pledged to pay outstanding professional allowances by July 31, 2026. The announcement was made by Dr. John Omotoso, President of the Nigerian Medical Association Ogun State, following an emergency meeting held on Wednesday.

The meeting included key figures such as Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, Secretary to the State Government, and Mr. Olanrewaju Saka, who attended as part of the leadership of the Nigerian Medical Association Ogun State. The association reviewed the progress made regarding their demands and resolved to suspend the industrial action, directing members to resume work on Thursday, June 25, 2026.

The doctors had previously expressed dissatisfaction over delayed payments and the worsening welfare conditions, which included concerns about security breaches and inadequate facilities. They warned against any form of victimization and urged members to report any incidents to leadership for appropriate intervention.
