Mkpakala: Lagos reverses sacking of 34 doctors

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said his administration had reversed the sacking of 34 doctors out of the 788 dismissed recently.

He urged the remaining doctors to end the logjam in the health sector by emulating their colleagues and appealing to the Health Service Commission, since their reinstatement was still possible.

Fashola explained that the doctors were recalled because of their appeal and positive review of their cases.

The governor spoke during a panel discussion aired live on the state television station, LTV, to commemorate his 5th anniversary in office.

He said he could not order the reversal of the sacking because it was not his own making. He explained that his powers as governor of the state did not give him power to sack or employ any doctor.

Fashola pointed out that the HSC was the body saddled with the responsibility of determining the fate of the doctors.

He said, “It is not in my power to reverse the sacking, just as I cannot determine their promotion. It is the HMC that will promote them and since I won’t be here after three years, it is better to allow procedure to take its course. It is not about me, it is about institutions.”

He however said he was still making efforts to ensure a final resolution of the crisis, adding that any doctor that appealed stood a good chance of being recalled.

All the arguments you have read or will read will fall into one of these "strata".
Anything else is just PRETENSE and playing the Ostrich!
We know ourselves now?

Lastpage!

BTW: before you post anything, PLEASE be honest enough to tell us "where you belong" in the stratification!

Abiola From as far back as the 70's had his eye on the presidency

swtchicgurl: i wonder ooo, wat if he had called it Stella Obasanjo University?! SOULAG!

Donmeca: thought u were alright...guess i now know better. Lastly if u do hate today's pronouncement just go take poison. Of all d things in dat long address, its on unilag that's tending. When will u guys understand hoodwinking?

emmasege: Is anything wrong in changing UNILAG's name when her age-mates (OAU and ABU) who are even more classy have since been re-named after deserved national heroes. if the reason for this protest by the students is because MKO did not deserve such a high level of honour, i give them my absolute support. As at today, no Nigerian dead or alive deserves to be named after UNILAG. The cases of Obafemi Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello are different. These were tested and selfless leaders whose legacies are indelible. moreover, mko does not stand in the same class as Awo and Ahmadu.

crusifis: abeg,op, u get that fair girl contact, see as she fine without make-up, i wan marry am

anonymous6: Majority of the time it tends to be that, especially in America Obama. If obama was raised about that he wouldn't have married Michelle, if he wasn't exposed the way he was, and his father being African is irrelevant because he was never there for him or was there to expose his culture to his son. when it comes to white females, they easily marry outside their race regardless of whether they are in their community or not because to a extent in the western world whites are treated as the most desired over other races(especially when they are the majority) and many white woman know this. Until Blacks start getting this concept they will keep hurting themselves because this is not the first time I see people bring up this fact when a biracial ends up with a white person when the signs were there and the obviousness of the person upbringing was a no brainer.

afam4eva: Please, show me one Yoruba person who bears that name. Just do a google search on that name and tell me if any Yoruba person's name will appear.

anonymous6: well you brought it up and the non-white environment influenced obama. If he was raised in America in white American culture all his life he wouldn't have ended up with Michelle.

Donmeca: I c u can only read and write without thinking to get d premise of an argument b4 including an ediotic input. Check what made me send d guy back to Google den come back and apologise for calling ya fada names. Was Harvard university named after someone? Who was that?....private or not! Den d fact that d school is private make d guy i quoted even more stoopid for putting it on d same argumentative pedestal as unilag, which belongs to d FUN.

PapaBrowne: Imagine if University of Nigeria Nnsukka were renamed after OJUKWU, I don't think it would generate all the negativity.
