Sit up or risk sanctions, Ogun warns health workers

Ogun State Government has said it will no longer be business as usual in the health sector.

It advised medical personnel in its services against dereliction of duties, unethical and sharp practices, warning that sanctions would be imposed on violators of rules and regulations of the sector.

In a statement by the state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Olaokun Soyinka, the government reiterated its commitment to the welfare of its workers, noting that this informed the policy of the Amosun-led administration to pay salaries as and when due and create a work-friendly environment for its employees.

“The present government not only cleared the backlog of salaries inherited from the previous administration but has invested massively in rehabilitation of dilapidated infrastructures,” he said.
