We told government what it should do and they would not listen, otherwise, we would not have had the many cases we had.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the first four weeks of Covid, if Nigeria had shut her borders, we wouldn\u2019t have had this because it was an imported disease and all we needed to do was close the airlines, airports and land borders and stay for at least four weeks, we would not have suffered this much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut even at that, we thank God because Nigerian doctors and other health workers were up to the task.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey demonstrated resilience, commitment and that was why even in the face of inadequacies, we were working and we lost over 20 to 30 doctors to Covid and you know once a life is lost, it is not replaceable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe worst thing is that their death insurances have not been paid. And we think that they should be paid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that their deaths benefits and insurances should be paid. And one way of encouraging the health workers is to motivate them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of these basic things can be fulfilled. It is our firm belief that with the right support from the governments, our efforts to provide excellent health services to Nigerians will continue to improve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything in Nigeria that is bad is endemic. Poverty is endemic. Inflation is endemic. But we are not saying that doctors should go on strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoctors go on strike only as a last resort. All we need to talk about is that let us be proactive is responding to the needs of doctors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you imagine some states owing up to 21 months of salary arrears? Do you expect the doctors in those states to put in the best?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd most of these arrears are in the South East. That\u2019s the truth of the matter.
