The Osun State University Teaching Hospital, UNIOSUNTH, has addressed accusations of discharging patients from its facility on Monday night.
The hospital stated that the decision was necessitated by the ongoing strike by the Joint Health Sector Unions, JOHESU, and the Assembly of Health Care Professionals.
According to UNIOSUNTH’s Public Relations Officer, Wale Ajibolu, the hospital’s management had engaged in extensive discussions with union representatives on Monday, hoping to persuade them to pause the strike.
Ajibolu disclosed that these discussions lasted into the evening, with the management insisting on the unique role and obligations of the hospital.
However, despite their efforts, the union declined to halt the strike, forcing the hospital to take necessary action.
“The management met the union till late evening to suspend the ongoing JOHESU strike.
“We let them see reasons that we are a hospital and our own case is peculiar.
“But they refused and the management had to do the needful,” he said.
DAILY POST gathered that a relative of a patient admitted in the hospital had raised the alarm on Tuesday morning that the hospital management around 8:00 pm on Monday ordered their patients to leave the hospital immediately.
He wrote, “Gov ADELEKE must hear this. UNIOSUN TEACHING HOSPITAL workers embarked on strike since morning and they never informed the patients until 8 p.m tonight and ordered all patients to leave the hospital immediately, including pregnant women who were about to deliver.
“Relatives and their patients are left stranded, especially those from outside Osogbo. The government should come to people’s aid. You can fact check me. This action is not only barbaric but pure wickedness on the part of the striking workers.
“Why the midnight? It is unfair. A lot of patients don’t know where to go.”

Livestock investment will end farmers, herders conflict in Nigeria – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu on Friday said his administration’s renewed focus in driving international and local investments into the livestock sector of the agricultural value-chain will end the crisis of farmer-herder clashes in Nigeria.
According to a statement by Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the President spoke in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the signing of the Letter of Intent between the Nigerian Government and JBS S.A, one of the top three largest meat processing companies globally.
Tinubu told the JBS executives that Nigeria is ready to do business, assuring them of good returns on their investment.
“What we are doing right now is that we are solving a problem that afflicts humanity in that part of Africa, clashes between farmers and migrating cows that have caused some life and bloodshed when there is a modern, civilized way to solve those problems and even bring a successful economy out of it,” Tinubu said.
“We are trying to turn a situation of tragedy, hopelessness into economic opportunity, see through problems and see the opportunity that is involved in it.”
The Nigerian leader called on the company to see the considerable potential in what he called the $2.5billion livestock investment opportunities in Nigeria, especially with its huge population and tap into it, given JBS S.A’s globally recognized expertise in the area of guaranteeing food security.
“We’ve heard so much about you in terms of the reputation, and we believe in the partnership we are forging today.
“Food security is extremely important. As we talk right now, there is hunger. However, there is huge hope. And you are one of those hopes that we are looking at.”
Prior to his visit to Brazil, Tinubu had commissioned a team of Nigerian officials and private sector players to take the advantage of the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Rio to conduct a study tour of Sao Paulo, Brazil and explore the opportunities in livestock development, meat processing, seed development and multiplication for key grains.
