From Lateef Dada, Osogbo
Public schools, hospitals and some banks were shut in Osun State in compliance with the national industrial action embarked upon by the labour union.
Though some banks collected deposits as partial transaction was observed in some banks visited by our correspondent while others were shut completely.
The state governor’s office was firmly locked as some workers that arrived around 8am turned back having found the main entrance shut.
At the state government hospital, Asubiaro, Osogbo, some patients on admission were discharged while some women who had just delivered babies were attended to.
At the university teaching hospital, it was observed that patients were discharged and workers were asked to go home in compliance with the national directives.
Findings showed that the labour leaders in the hospital had a meeting with the staff in the morning and told them that only the directors and casual workers are to remain in the hospital.
