On Monday, the Lagos State Government sacked 788 doctors over their strike and also failing to reply the three letters of query and a letter of summons asking them to appear before the personnel management board on April 24.
The termination letter read thus;
“This is to inform you that the Personnel Management Board ( Disciplinary Committee) which held between Tuesday 24th and Thursday 25th April 2012, has established a case of misconduct and absence from duty without leave or reasonable case between Wednesday 11th and Friday 13th April 2012 against you. You are also guilty of insubordination for failing to respond to lawful queries issued to you. The committee therefore recommends your dismissal from service. In accordance with the provision of the civil service rule NOS/04502/04507/04508, the board has approved your dismissal. I, thereby convey your “DISMISSAL” from Lagos State service effective from Friday, 4th, 2012. By this letter, you are hereby advised to hand over all government properties in your possession to the office of the Chief Medical Director immediately.”
Moving on, the state government is already inducting 373 doctors that will resume this week.
In order to ensure that the healthcare delivery service of the state continues to function for the benefit of the people, the state government has also placed advertisement in some national dailies seeking applications from suitably qualified medical doctors and consultants/specialists desirous of working with the government.
