Lagos state government issues quit notice to sacked doctors

Thought they said there was room for negotiations? Apparently not; because now they have ordered all the sacked doctors in its employment to vacate their official residences...with immediate effect. The state government sent out the eviction notice yesterday and it read:

Consequent upon your dismissal from the service of the Lagos State government with effect from  May 4, 2012 and in accordance with the civil service rule 13115, no officer shall continue to occupy state government quarters after the date on which his resignation/ dismissal takes effect.

In view of the above, you are hereby requested to submit the keys to the quarters to the Secretary of Staff Housing Board.

The doctors were given till the end of today to vacate their quarters but the Nigerian Medical Association, (NMA) said that the doctors were covered by the tenancy law and have instructed them to ignore the quit notice.
