The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has accused the leadership of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) of connivance and tacitly giving support to the ongoing strike by members of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).
He specifically blamed NMA President, Prof. Innocent Ujah, for not interfacing properly with the Federal Ministry of Health in resolving some of the issues that led to the current strike by members of NARD.
The minister also clarified issues relating to his recent television interview, where he made reference to the service package for residency training of doctors in the United States and United Kingdom in relation to Nigeria, stating that what he meant was that their government is not involved in payment of salaries and some aspect of the training of resident doctors such as books, examination fees among others as itâs done in Nigeria.
