“The hospital is so porous that workers are easily exposed to life-threatening attacks from hoodlums.
“After exhaustive deliberations, the EGM made the following resolutions:
“The EGM demands that there should be an immediate provision of (a) armoured Tank, (b)presence of trained security officers (c) Security Post at both entrances of the hospital i.e. Ajegunle entrance and Idi-seke entrance.
“There should be IMMEDIATE organisation and re-organisation of the security structure in the hospital to forestall recurrence of unpleasant and life-threatening attacks on hospital staff while discharging their duties.
These should include (a) routine surveillance (b) continuous dissemination of security information to members of staff among others.
“The Hospital Management should set up a Hospital-Based Security Committee that will appraise and assess the security structures in the hospital on a periodic basis. The EGM demands that our members should be an integral part of this Committee.
“There should be training and re-training of the security personnel in the hospital premise.
“That the visitors’ inflow and outflow in and out of the hospital should be closely checked henceforth.
