OOUTH Doctors Suspend Strike After Ogun Government Intervention

Resident doctors at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH) in Sagamu suspended their 10-day warning strike due to an intervention from the Ogun State government. The decision, announced by the association's president, Dr.

John Omotoso, followed a meeting with Ogun State government officials, including Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, Head of Service, and Mr.

Saka Olanrewaju. The doctors had initiated the strike to protest the non-implementation of welfare packages and concerns regarding their work environment.

The agreement reached during the meeting commits the government to address these issues, with a professional allowance payment expected to reflect in members' accounts by July 31, 2026. Consequently, Dr.

Omotoso directed members to resume duties at 8:00 AM on Thursday, June 25, 2026. An emergency general meeting is scheduled for August 1, 2026, to assess the situation and determine further actions.

The association warned against any victimization or harassment related to the industrial action.
