Doctors working at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital have embarked on a peaceful protest in the hospital. The Doctors, yesterday took to the streets of the Teaching Hospital in Ilorin, Kwara State, to press home their demands.

Their protesting doctors carried cardboards and placards on which was outlined their demands and it includes full payment of the salaries owed them by the Federal Government since 2014, Government should cease paying their salary in parts, with some receiving only receiving 60% of the salary, all skippings and allowances be paid as well.

They also want the government to increase the salary of House officers in their hospital, which they describe as peanuts compared to the volume of work done by the House Officers.

One of the doctors we contacted, who do not want her name mentioned here, has this to say;

"The government should meet up with our demands. They should not renege this time around to avoid this cycle of strike. They are owing us arrears and we insist this should be cleared".
