“Virtually all sectors are involved in one industrial conflagration or the other, in terms of strike, as a result of government‘s poor response to the needs of workers.
“People, over the years, have gotten a pattern of securing their demands through agitations and through strike.
“But, I think why the people always feel pained when doctors are on strike is that the responsibility of a doctor is all about life.
“And when we made those resolutions in Asaba, which was an all-embracing resolution, we also had no illusion that we could turn around very drastically the mentality and the psyche of the people who have been attuned to a way of life.
“There was agreement, there was understanding.
“But again, when you have a breach of some of these understandings, there is an extent to which you can continually draw the people back from, of course, responding because they buy from the same market with other people.”
Enabulele also urged governments to always keep to agreements reached with the doctors and provide the enabling environment to avoid strikes in the sector.
