Remember that some days back, I posted a story about an ex-banker who worked with the scrapped Hallmark bank in Nigeria. He went on hunger strike because his non-payment of his
terminal benefit has suspended the strike after 14 days (READ STORY HERE). Seriously?? The man went the whole 14 days taking nothing? This man is great and determined.
The suspension of the protest followed
spirited appeal by a representation from the Lagos State Governor,
Babatunde Fashola, and officials from the Lagos office of the Public
Complaints Commission.
Senior Special Assistant to Fashola on
Justice Sector Reforms, Lanre Akinsola, who led a team of legal, welfare
and medical officials to the tent Odunaro had turned to his home on
Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Lagos, promised to intervene.
After persuasion and engagement by the
state officials and consultation with members of the Association of
Ex-Staff of Non-Consolidated Bank, who had gathered at the site which
lasted for about three hours, Odunaro who clocked 53 on Monday announced
the suspension of the protest.
As soon as he announced the suspension,
the medical team from the Lagos State Ambulance Service who had been
waiting for hours led him into an ambulance marked LA 167 A08 at about
3:09pm and took him to the Medical Emergency of the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital for medical attention.
