Lagos doctors have announced a three-day warning strike from July 28 to 31, 2025, to protest unlawful deductions from their salaries. This strike follows failed negotiations with the state government.


Key Points:
  • Doctors accuse the Lagos Treasury Office of violating agreements.
  • The guild demands the immediate reversal of the July deductions.
  • They also seek full payment of 12-month CONMESS arrears.
  • Strike scheduled to begin 8:00 a.m., July 28, 2025.
  • Failure to resolve the dispute could lead to an indefinite strike.
  • Doctors protest economic hardships and the exodus of medical professionals.
  • The Guild urges Governor Sanwo-Olu to intervene before health delivery collapses.
The warning strike is a crucial move by doctors to protest salary issues, and without swift government intervention, it could escalate, jeopardizing the health sector in Lagos.
