Lagos State Recalls All Sacked Doctors by EvilBrain1(m): 5:43pm On May 31, 2012

The Lagos State Government has suspended the sack of the 788 doctors recently relieved of their duties from the government employment.

The suspension followed the intervention of the leadership of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and others led by the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu who addressed reporters on Thursday alongside State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola and Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello shortly after discussion with the government, urged the doctors to return to work.

This is not enough. The government should pay the doctors the full amount that was agreed and not a penny less. They shouldn't think that just because they have backed down a little that the doctors will forget the issue that started the whole problem.

If the governmnt tries to remove even 1 kobo from a doctor's hard earned salary, they will face the fight of their lives. They may be able to get away with this type of nonsense with the poor masses who don't know their rights, but doctors are cut from a different cloth.

Again it took Tinubu for "something" to be done? Or was it the threat of NUPENG and other bodies joining in the strike? Please this is step one. Bottom-line is, will he still keep to the terms of the agreement that he signed with they doctors?

Lesson from this - Our leaders cannot rule in isolation so long as we have agreed that we are in a "democracy"

I really admire Fashola's intelligence. I knew he was going to recall them. Im sure they will never repeat what they did. It will teach other employees never to hold their employers to ransome all in the name of fighting for your rights. If you are not satisfied with your employer's terms, kindly QUIT! Don't forget that there are people that will gladly accept your job for even half of what you are paid.

My brother, it simply means the ACN is a Government for the people, it listen's to the masses.. if na PDP, will they even have the mind to protest like that and the government would listen. Although the government took a bit of time before pardoning the doctors.. but we should commend them, or have we forgotten that during the pdp blood riot would have been all over the street with soldiers... Look at jonathan"s word to the protesting youth , saying his decision is final (military man to youths, but pleading with boko haram which are terrorists)... offcourse fashola could do that (pdp world) and even employ people from anyway, but he choose to listen to Lagosians.. Another plus to democracy in lagos.

Stupid talk, because you are employed means you should be maltreated and not talk. Whoever accepts that for awhile will talk when he begins to get oppressed. The bottom line line is that there should be mutual respect and understanding, don't promise what you cannot give, and drs should stand by their oath, but the oath also says they should be treated with respect and fairly.

what nonsense are you talking about? They never begged the government? Have you seen an experienced doctor looking for job before?
It is the government that will lose if they don't call them back. Why did fashola agreed with them when they strike before his second term. Let's see if he would have made it then.
I bet it, more serious strike will soon start if government refuse to cooperate with them.

It was stupid to sack them before, tinubu has only succeeded in making fashola look inept and inexperienced which is why they advised him poorly, the drs are not fools, because they are the only ones in service who stand up to injustice in the system they want to paint them poorly in the public eye.

Lagos state govt continue your spin, it's only a matter of time before the public see you for what you really are.

not that i support the government but the excesses of the medical professional are getting too much especially the doctors. they are so ignorant of the average working conditions in nigeria. if they are tired of government jobs they should leave.they should stop comparing themselves to the politicians.

Things are just not right in Nigeria. So what happens now? If the doctors are not paid the full salary whhere does the money go? Stolen,given to Godfathers. I get surprised and agitated whenever the government finds it difficult to pay workers so and so amount. These politicians are paid far better than the populace and still steal much more. I'm surprised at the sentiments some pple here have against doctors, truth is this kind of mass action is what Nigerian government needs.

I guess the state finally realized how silly the sacking of the doctors was to begin with. Problem at the end of the day is that the state ends up paying so much more for all this than it would have if it has only payed up on what it agreed on to begin with.

He didnt have a choice but to recall them. Fashola did what is expected of animals like tinubu or udugban by sacking those doctors. It was a very myopic act,that was unexpected from a learned and progressive man.

Now they can sit down and talk like normal people,with the government bearing in mind that medical doctors are not agberos and they should not be treated as such.
