Workers of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), under the auspices of Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU), have suspended their proposed indefinite strike scheduled to begin today.
The protest was to register their anger over the mass sack of their colleagues.
JOHESU Chairperson Comrade Omotola Farotim, who addressed reporters yesterday, said they suspended the strike following agreements reached the management on January 10 and to show respect for Governor Kayode Fayemi.
She said: “We won’t be going on strike again. Last Friday, the governor’s aide on Labour, Chief Yemi Esan, held a meeting with us and the management, on behalf of the governor, and we agreed that everyone who was given letter would get fair hearing and their salary.
“Some of them have been reabsorbed and were told to resume at their duty posts immediately.
They have also agreed to meet all our agitations on welfare soon.
“We give the governor the regard for coming to our aid and for calling the meeting to hear us out. We are giving him that respect; that is why we are suspending the strike hoping that the needful would be done.”
