sack of resident doctors by the Federal Govt which
happened on Wednesday August 13th.
At a press briefing today in Abuja, the president of
the NMA, Dr Kayode Obembe asked the federal
government to withdraw its circular on the sack of
the resident doctors and also reverse the directive
"NMA demands immediate withdrawal of the
suspension circular and unconditional reinstatement
of the so-called sacked resident doctors. Government
should show commitment on her part in resolving
the current impasse with the NMA rather than
resorting to punitive measures that will only further
aggravate the already deplorable situation. NMA
condemns in totality the alleged presidential directive
via the Federal Ministry of Health suspending
Residency Training Programme in Nigeria," the
NMA President added.
The NMA president also stated that even if FG
reinstates the resident doctors, they will still not call
off their strike, which is over a month now, adding
that the govt must meet its "24-point demand".
