The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has stated that the comments of Minister of labour, Chris Ngige regarding the doctors strike is capable of escalating brain drain in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Recall that the doctors on Thursday embarked on an indefinite strike over salary arrears among other issues.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige has stated that \u2018weapons in the labour laws\u2019 will be invoked on resident doctors if they refuse to back down on the ongoing strike<\/a><\/strong> after government meets some of their demands.<\/p>\n

Ngige had also\u00a0claimed that resident doctors in the US foot the bill for their residency training programme.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement, Innocent Ujah and Philip Ekpe, president and secretary-general of NMA, described Ngige\u2019s comments as hate speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn as much as we appreciate the efforts being made by the government to resolve the issues that have led to this avoidable and unnecessary industrial action by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) wishes to clarify the misinformation by the Minister in the interview, which is seriously viewed to be a hate speech capable of bringing down the health system in Nigeria and thereby worsening the health care delivery and further escalate the rather unimaginable current brain drain,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the United States of America and other developed countries, Resident Doctors<\/a> work as they are being trained and they are paid by their employers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the United Kingdom, the employer of Resident Doctors is the NHS, which is similar to what is obtainable in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, Residents also pay to take their postgradduate Medical examinations in the developed countries, which is what also obtains in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NMA is totally in disagreement with the way and manner some government functionaries carry out their duties which is completely insensitive to the plight of the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccountability is the fulcrum for good governance in all facets and we do not demand anything less from those charged with the responsibility of governing the people.\u201dl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
