Medical Doctors and all other Health workers in Ondo State are fully set to embark on an Indefinite strike action anytime from now if the governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa fails to do the needful in getting more hands into the system as gross understaffing of Doctors have led to serious overworked, fatigued and death of members including other Heath workers.

Arising from the Statutory Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) of the National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners (NAGGMDP) Ondo State held on Tuesday 21st April, 2026 at NMA House, Igbatoro Road, Akure.

The OGM observed the following with displeasure:

That the NAGGMDP Ondo State should issue press release on the demands of the Association.

That the gross understaffing of Doctors in the State led to the fact that our members are seriously overworked, fatigued and exhausted in their places of work.
That all Doctors who had promotion in 2024 have not been paid their promotion arrears from July 2024 to December 2024.

That the Association should work in tandem with the Ondo NMA, our parent body, who had issued an ultimatum on several issues bothering on our members’ welfare to include:

Immediate Implementation of the Consequential Adjustment of Salaries and the payment of all arrears from the effective date as provided by the circular.

Immediate payment of the Accoutrement Allowances.

Employment of
more Doctors into the services of Ondo State to cater for the populace.
Payment of promotion arrears from July 2024 to Dec 2024.

The following demands were therefore enumerated:

Immediate Implementation of the Consequential Adjustment of Salaries and the payment of all arrears from the effective date as provided by the circular.

Immediate payment of the Accoutrement Allowances.

Employment of more Doctors into the services of Ondo State to cater for the populace.

Payment of promotion arrears from July 2024 to Dec 2024.

The OGM unanimously agreed that NAGGMDP Ondo State is fully in tandem with the resolutions of the Ondo NMA as earlier enumerated to Government and will proceed on an indefinite strike, if need be, as a body under our parent body stemming from failure of Government to accede to our demands.

They further stated that failure to meet the above demands within the stipulated dates, the Association shall not be able to guarantee industrial harmony in the health sector.

Finally, the Leadership of the Association reiterated her commitment to the provision of essential Healthcare to the public but urged the State Government to urgently meet the above demands in order to avert an avoidable industrial action.

While we await your favorable response, kindly accept the assurances of our warmest regards.

The Julius and Eunice Adegoroye FOUNDATION has commended UNIMEDTH in Ondo for accepting to support the Foundation in facilitating a major surgical operation for Ms Kemi Oluwatukasi who has been battling a major medical condition called Ameloblastoma, which is the massive swelling of the jaw.

In a statement, the Secretary to the Foundation, Dr Aderinsola Adegoroye described as humanitarian the decision of the hospital to bear part of the cost of the surgery which requires total replacement of Ms Oluwatukasi’s jaw.

She said the Foundation decided to bear the huge cost of the woman’s surgery after it was contacted by her family who informed of the severity of the condition of the patient, as she has been living on liquid only for a year.

Dr Adegoroye said it is the core mandate of the Foundation to help bring succour to people in desperate situations, and thanked the Chief Medical Director of UNIMEDTH, Dr Gbala for the assurance that the surgery would help restore the woman’s normal life.

The Foundation urged public spirited individuals to rise to the occasion when they come across people in need instead of insisting that government must solely take care of all of society’s needs.

Julius and Eunice Adegoroye FOUNDATION was established in memory of Barrister Julius Adedeji Adegoroye and Mrs Eunice Fehintola Adegoroye.

The wife of Ondo state governor,Mrs Betty Anyanwu Akeredolu has said that all hands must be on deck to fight -to – a stand still , the dehumanization and molestation of girls and women in our society.

Mrs Akeredolu made this known in Akure, the Ondo state capital on Thursday at the government House, Alagbaka that the rate at which the women are being molested should be fought head-long.

While speaking, the commissioner for women affairs , Mrs Julianah Osadahun said that, the menace should be handled seriously the way COVID 19 and campaign against AIDS were handled, so as to put an end to the violence.

The program which was tagged ” 16 days of activism against gender – based violence” aimed at ending violence against women by some miscreants in the society.

Mrs Akeredolu said every one must shout and scream against such act.

The first lady of the state said she has institutionalized an agency and a law has been passed call VAPP – LAW which has already criminalized any acts against women and girl child.

During her good will message, the Special Adviser to the governor on Gender matters Mrs Olamide Falana had earlier enjoined parents to voice out when such ugly incident happened around them saying that ,such victim will be protected against stigmatization.

Mrs Akeredolu encouraged the women to support and vote massively for the fellow women into the position of authority so as to represent them and the girl child in making the protection a reality. She therefore said that the underline factors should be looked into by the parents through the ways they bring up their wards.

She frown at the female mutilation which is seeing to be painful and harmful that has no medical & health benefits. She suggested that such act can be adjusted or rather changed for a better living.
