The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, says its members are not part of the 8am to 4pm working condition declared by the hospital’s Joint Action Committee (JAC).
It made the announcement yesterday in a statement signed by its President, Dr John Oladapo, General Secretary, Dr Gboyega Ajibola and other members of the executive.

The statement noted that the institution’s ARD members are at their duty posts, providing essential care and services to those in need.
It will be recalled that the Joint Action Committee (JAC), an umbrella body of all unions in the hospital, had on Tuesday issued a notice
that staff would only work between 8 am and 4 p.m. due to power outage.
The committee said that Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) had disconnected power supply to UCH due to what it called “accumulated bill indebtedness.”
