The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) on Friday threatened to embark on solidarity strike if the state government fails to recall the sacked doctors.

Addressing journalists at a press conference in Lagos, the National President of NUPENG, Igwe Achese said the Lagos state government must allow reason to prevail by negotiating with the doctors on their demands with a view to arriving at a compromise.
“We call on both parties to go back to the negotiating table with maturity to resolve the conflicts,” he said.
“However, NUPENG will join forces with other well-meaning Nigerians to call the Lagos state government to order to recall the sacked doctors. If the issue persists unresolved by Monday next week, NUPENG may be forced to embark on a solidarity strike action until the sacked doctors are recalled to save the lives of Nigerians in Lagos,” Mr Achese said.
He pointed out that the inexperienced doctors that were employed by the government are not adequate and properly equipped to treat the patients.
