After sacking the striking doctors, the Lagos state govenment did not waste time to issue quit notice to the already sacked doctors who are still leaving in the quartes. The Quit Notice was dated May 8, 2012 and it was issued by by the Secretary of the Staff Housing Board for the Head of Service, I.A Shoyemi.
Each Quit Notice Reads, I quote,"
“Consequent upon your dismissal from the service of the Lagos State Government with effect from 4th May, 2012, and in accordance with the civil service rule, no officer shall continue to occupy the state government quarters after the date of his or her resignation/dismissal.
I wish to request you to vacate the state government staff quarters.
The notices also directed the doctors to submit the keys to their quarters to Mr Shoyemi to “forestall forceful eviction".
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.
