Doctors in Lagos State are threatening to go on strike.
The Medical Guild, a group of doctors working in the state government-owned hospitals made their intention known in a statement.
The group has said that it’s members would withdraw their services after the expiration of a 21-day notice issued by the guild to government on December 29, 2014.
The doctors are aggrieved over what they described as victimization and non-payment of August and September 2014 salaries.
The doctors had gone on a nationwide strike which was declared by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in July 2014, but the Lagos State Government has insisted on not paying them for the period, owing to it’s no-work-no-pay policy.
The Lagos doctors have called on the State Government to pay them or risk the provision of medical services in Lagos State taking a different turn early in the year.
