Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

Traditional Rulers in Ekiti state on Friday appealed to striking doctors in the state to suspend their strike in the overall interest of the public.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the doctors\u2019 industrial action has entered the fourth month.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the State Council of Traditional Rulers and the Alawe of Ilawe Ekiti, Oba Adebanji Ajibade Alabi, made the appeal in a statement obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Ado Ekiti I.<\/p>\n

He said the strike by the medical doctors, under the auspices of the National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners ( NAGGMDP), was seriously affecting medical delivery to residents.<\/p>\n

The Obas council chairman said calling off their industrial action would provide a conducive environment for the intervention of the Council of Traditional Rulers for peaceful resolution.<\/p>\n

He noted that the strike by the doctors would continue to take a toll on health service delivery in the state, if not halted in a reasonable time.<\/p>\n

The monarch disclosed that he had personally intervened twice in their dispute with the government.<\/p>\n

He said all hands must now be on the deck at this time of COVID-19 pandemic to fight the virus and other ailments affecting the people of Ekiti state.<\/p>\n

Oba Alabi assured the doctors that Gov. Kayode Fayemi would appreciate their cooperation in that regard, at this critical situation in the state.<\/p>\n

He added that calling off the strike would enable Royal Fathers in the state to wade into the issues and resolve it for the betterment of the Ekiti people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
