PDP Governorship aspirant, Jimi Agbaje has urged the Lagos
State Government to pay Doctors threatening to go on strike, saying it is their
right because they worked for it. Agbaje says Lagos is a mega city that cannot
allow its health practitioners be on strike. Here what he said in a statement
released by his Media Aide, Mr Remi Adefulu.
“My heart bleeds over this avoidable strike because I find
it unbelievable that the state is making the poor masses suffer unduly due to a
minor issue like salaries, which is the right of every worker. Government the
world over is about the people, but are the people not the ones suffering?. Something
urgent should be done by government to alleviate their sufferings and prevent
avoidable deaths. Let me assure Lagosians that hope is on the way, as our
administration knows the importance of a healthy people to national development.
As I have said repeatedly during our campaigns, our administration shall
introduce a free health insurance scheme that would be beneficial to Lagosians
and service providers. The system is working all over the world, and our people
deserve to benefit from this globally-acclaimed best practice in the health
sector,” he said.
