AMDO ​‌‍‍‍‍⁠⁠‍‌‌‌‌​⁠‍‍‌​Strike: Medical activities partially paralysed in Oyo

On Monday, October 26, 2026, medical activities were partially paralysed at government hospitals in Oyo State due to a one-week warning strike initiated by the Association of Medical and Dental Officers of Oyo State (AMDO). The strike affected various healthcare services across the state, leading to disruptions in patient care and hospital operations.

The AMDO's decision to strike was aimed at addressing grievances related to working conditions and compensation for medical staff. As a result, many patients faced delays in receiving medical attention, and some hospitals operated with limited staff. Officials from AMDO have stated that the strike will continue until their demands are met, while the state government has yet to respond to the situation. The current status of healthcare services remains compromised as the strike progresses.
