Furthermore, Salaam assured the striking doctors that after calling off the strike, the assembly would ensure that none of them was victimised due to the industrial action.
Adekunle said, “Members of the union were also ready to make sacrifices as done by other labour unions in the state but they only rejected the agreement between the government and the Nigeria Labour Congress because they (doctors) were not carried along during the negotiations.
“We will take your appeal to the congress and we believe that we will be able to convince our members to suspend the strike. The people of Osun should be expecting good news anytime from now due to the assurance we have received from the state assembly.”
