In a reaction
to the industrial action, the state government described the action as illegal. The Lagos
State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Ibirogba, in a
statement insisted that the doctors that embarked on the last industrial action
did not deserve pay as part of government’s “no work no pay policy.”
