LAGOS — Resident doctors at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi-araba will today embark on an indefinite strike following failure of the hospital management to resolve the lingering crisis after they called off their three-day warning strike. But in a swift reaction to the expected strike, the LUTH management warned that it will not tolerate any attempt to disrupt patients care even as it vowed to ensure that all clinics remained open for patients.

No fewer than 23 persons were said to have died, while 10 others suffered varying degrees of injuries from disasters which occurred in the South-west zone in the past three months. Also, about 200 fire incidents were jointly handled by fire fighters both at the states and federal level during this period.

“Though, it is not yet Uhuru, Ï implore our amiable governor not to rest on his oars by ensuring that these tankers never return to the road in the interest of the general public.” Also Mr. Omoniyi Oriade, a cab operator, who heaved a sigh of relief, said, “This is a temporary relief, the taskforce should be alert during the week because that is when the volume of traffic is high. These recalcitrant drivers may come back. Therefore, government should sustain it with intense vigour.”

LAGOS—The police have offered to reward anyone who assist in the arrest of one Osaretin Enabulele, also known as Euro, over the death of the son of an ex-Customs Officer, Enere Utonga.

ABUJA — THE Nigeria Civil Service Union, NCSU, has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to investigate former and serving governors who allegedly squandered the states resources for frivolities but abandoned payment of workers salaries. The union alleged that some of the governors used the state money to finance campaigns during the elections, while the workforce was being owed salary for many months.
