Reports say the strike which began under the regime of former governor, Rotimi Amaechi, led to loss of several lives.
Amaechi is reported to have failed to take serious steps in addressing the challenges of the workers, which include inability to refurbish some obsolete office equipment, shortage of drugs among others.
