Health workers at the Bola Tinubu Health and Diagnostic Centre at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, have protested the non-payment of their salary for five months.

The workers staged a peaceful protest at the head office of Deux Nigeria Limited in Ikoyi, Lagos on Wednesday.
According to the workers, who called on the state government to intervene in the matter, Deux Nigeria Limited is the consulting company handling the maintenance and payment of staff salaries at the diagnostic centre in LASUTH, owned in a public- private partnership with the Lagos State Government.
A worker at the Radiology department, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that all efforts to dialogue with managers of the BT centre had yielded no result.
He said, “We gave them a 21-day strike notice, they didn’t respond. We went on strike for three days, they did not call us back. As it is now, we don’t even know if we will be paid or not.”
When our correspondent contacted the officials of Deux Project Nigeria Ltd, the Head of Training, Dr. Jonathan Odia, said they were in a crucial meeting, requesting that our reporter call back.
Subsequent efforts made to reach him on the telephone proved abortive
