Medical doctors in Lagos have begun a three-day strike to protest salary reductions, triggering widespread concern across Nigeria. The strike, reported by Nigeria Stories on X, has drawn sharp reactions from citizens who rely on public hospitals for essential care. One user expressed frustration, saying the Lagos State Government seems more focused on trivial matters like removing Charley Boy from Google Maps than addressing healthcare crises. Another lamented the timing, noting that patients are already struggling and such strikes only deepen their suffering. A third commenter highlighted the broader issue of poor treatment of government workers, stating that even life-saving professionals like doctors are being neglected. The strike is expected to disrupt services in public hospitals, leaving many vulnerable patients without access to care. This protest reflects deeper systemic issues in Nigeria’s public sector, including inadequate compensation and lack of recognition for essential workers.
