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.
