The Osun State Government on Tuesday described as
mere blackmail the protests by the striking doctors saying that the government
has made more than enough concessions for them to shift ground and reason with
the government.
The state government called on well-meaning
Nigerians to objectively examine the issues involved in the demands of the
doctors and see whether they are in tune with the realities of the current
worsening global and national economic situation and how it affects Osun.
The statement by the Bureau of Communication and
Strategy in the Office of the Governor which was endorsed by its Director,
Semiu Okanlawon, said the doctors are demanding the impossible just as it said
that the state under Governor Rauf Aregbesola had offered the best condition of
service to all its workers including the doctors before the current financial
challenges facing the entire country.
