News About Nigeria reports that a civil society group, the Network for Democracy and Development (NDD), has described the incident leading to the doctor’s death as “unacceptable” and a case of “criminal negligence” on the part of those who were to ensure a safe environment for hospital workers.
The group made this known in a statement jointly signed by its National Coordinator, Tajudeen Alabede, and General Secretary, Jameel Muhammad, on Thursday.
The statement partly read, “The NDD considers this development unacceptable and a clear case of criminal negligence on the part of those who must provide a safe work environment for her and other members of staff at the hospital.
“It is indescribable that a medical facility of that standing did not have blood within reach to rescue the badly injured doctor who offered her professional service in the same place.”
Calls On Government To Conduct Comprehensive Safety Audit Of Infrastructure
Furthermore, the civil society group called on the Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led government to begin a comprehensive investigation of the circumstances surrounding the avoidable accident that led to the death of Dr. Vwaere Diaso and bring all the culprits to book.
Added that investigations also need to be conducted on infrastructure in all government establishments, including schools, in the state.
“NDD, therefore, calls on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to take urgent steps to investigate the circumstances surrounding the avoidable accident that led to the death of Dr. Vwaere Diaso and bring all the culprits to book.
“Besides, the state government should conduct a comprehensive safety audit of infrastructure in all government establishments, including schools, in the state.
“The report of the audit should be made public. Lagos should prove to the world that it is truly Nigeria’s center of excellence.”
