Salaries of medical and dental officers in Oyo come under review, according to a pledge by Governor Abiola Ajimobi, to “reflect prevailing economic situation” of the country.
The review is among requests put forth by the Association of Medical and Dental Officers in Oyo.
In talks with visiting executives of the association, Ajimobi repeated promises to promote healthcare delivery by equipping hospitals and adequately encouraging medical personnel.
He commended the association for its “cooperation with the government which has allowed peace in the state, and the development that has taken place.”
“We have a transparent, efficient, accountable and people-oriented government but no matter how much we do, we must expect criticism; we must expect opposition and they do exist and we also exist but our concern is to do our best to promote the progress and happiness of the majority of our people,” he said.
In remarks, chairman of the association, Dr. Fola Oni, called for a review of the edict establishing Oyo’s Hospitals Management Board, so as to create semi-autonomy for state-owned hospitals and to allow the board to play only administrative roles in the state health sector.
