Lagos State Govt and Striking Doctors to Dialogue Tomorrow

Reps of the two parties will meet tomorrow at 4pm to iron out their differences. Hopefully all will be resolved. Will keep you posted. Meanwhile, the Lagos State Governor has directed that none of the sacked Lagos doctors should be evicted from their quarters.

Double mouth u bet, God forgive me. Oooooo but most of this doctors no day try, they swear an oath. To always save a life as much as possible yet money is the other of the day

People just dey shout Oath. Did politicians not swear an Oath to be faithful, Loyal and Honest. I beg na Oath go pay my children school fees, rent etc.....

If you went to the university at all you will recognise how much efforts doctors put in.

The Oath is not for poverty.

The fact that people swore on oath does not mean their rights should be infringed on and they won't get what is due to them, as in they should be cheated. I am not a Doctor but it is rather unfair what the Lagos State Government is doing to them, shikena!!!
