The memo also came with a list which revealed that aside those sacked, 299 other workers of the hospital are henceforth redeployed to the state service, bringing the total of affected workers to 554.

Some of part of the memo read; “Kindly find below the list of disengaged staff as directed by the Oyo State Government and approved by the board at her meeting held on Thursday, 21st December, 2017.”
