Title: Fashola on Doctors
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has directed that none of the
sacked doctors in the state should be evicted from their quarters.
The directive came on the heels of the ejection notice issued by the
state head of service to the sacked doctors to vacate their quarters by
last Friday.
Chief medical director of the Lagos state university teaching hospital,
LASUTH, professor Adewale David Oke, said even though the eviction notice
was in line with civil service rules, the governor expressly maintained
that the doctors should not be evicted from their quarters.
Dr. Oke who exonerated the state government from the purported forceful
eviction argued that if the doctors vacated their quarters, they did so on
their own decision.
Also speaking, the state commissioner for health, Dr. Jide Idris, denied
involvement in the eviction notice, saying it was only a procedure in
civil service.
