Medical doctors under the employ of Lagos State government have resolved to extend the 21-day ultimatum they gave the state government by two weeks before they embark on a three-day warning strike.

The doctors, under the auspices of Medical Guild, had issued an ultimatum on June 4 on, asking the government to address issues that affect their members.

The issues include; the state government’s COVID-19 response, salary disparity, shortage of doctors, and Medical Residency Training Act among others.

In a statement obtained by our correspondent on Monday, the association said that at the end of the Emergency Congress held on Saturday, it has resolved that the state government should be given two weeks more ultimatum, starting from Monday, June 29, to meet at least 70 per cent of the demands or it will embark on a three-day warning strike.

The Chairman of the Guild, Dr. Oluwajimi Sodipo said the demands include “COVID-19 response issue that affects our members and non-inclusion of the Medical Guild in the activities; Lagos State Minimum Wage, Salary disparity between the Federal Government and Lagos State government doctors, MOU between FG and health care workers unions/ associations on COVID-19 allowances; shortage of doctors and the Medical Residency Training Act.”

“If these demands are not met by then, an emergency Representative Council meeting should be held for immediate activation of Medical Guild three days warning strike.”

Isro has shortlisted 15 firms to transfer the manufacturing technology of lithium-ion (Li ion) batteries for electric vehicles (EV).

We have avoided firms with exposure to foreign equity in identifying the qualifying industrial houses or start-ups,” S Somanath, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the rocket sciences node of ISRO, told FE. “The final move will depend on their response,” he said, declining to name the firms.

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
