ILORIN – Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, the Vice-Chancellor, University of Ilorin, has pleaded with health workers to stop their incessant industrial actions that often paralyse the nation’s hospitals.
He made the plea on Tuesday in Ilorin when he received members of the National Executive Committee (NEC), Association of Radiographers of Nigeria (ARN).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that members of the association were in Ilorin for the 46th Annual Conference and Scientific Workshop organised by the association.
Ambali said: “It is important for all professionals in the health sector to work together to put an end to strike.
“We are inspired by your comments that appreciate the fact that our (UNILORIN) academic calendar has been stable over several years.
“However, if you appreciate the need for non-interruption in academic calendar, you will also appreciate the need for non-interruption of health care delivery system in Nigeria.
“It is health we are talking about here and no one knows who will be the next to fall sick.
“It is therefore important for all professionals in the health sector to work together to put an end to strike.”
Earlier, the ARN President, Dr Mark Okeji, had expressed amazement at the transformation that the University of Ilorin had witnessed since 1993 when he last visited the institution.
He congratulated the VC on his conferment with the award of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) by President Goodluck Jonathan. (NAN)
