The strike action embarked on
by the Nigerian Medical
Association (NMA) was on
Sunday unofficially called off
at 12:02am after an
Emergency Delegates Meeting
(EDM). Our sources who attended the delegates
meeting told us that there was heated
argument when the National President of
National Association of Residents Doctors
(NARD) Jubril Abdullahi told the audience that
they had already called off their own strike
irrespective of what NMA thinks. His speech
caused commotion in the hall before it was
later calmed down.
Submissions by various State chapter of NMA
emphasized that the strike should be called off
as it has brought ridicule to the profession,
and any further continuation of the strike may
further ‘finish’ the association.
A reliable source within the NMA fold
authoritatively revealed that the EDM has to be
called following prior knowledge that the FG
has concluded plans to begin massive
employment of physicians.
“Do you know what that means for the Federal
government to start to employ new doctors? It
means that the sack will take effect and we
cannot allow that happen. We are calling the
strike off once the meeting is held”, stated our
source.
We gathered that the NMA who were sack last
week with the residency program suspended
had to resort to pleading with the Senate
President, David Mark and National Assembly
Speaker, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal to plead with
President Goodluck Jonathan to have a change
of heart. Mark who agreed to help them gave
them a condition of calling off the strike
before any meaningful discussion can be done,
revealed our source.
Results from the NMA EDM showed that 199
votes for strike suspension (70.09%), 66
(20.4%) against, 4 invalid votes. They are
expected to resume work on Monday, but not
sure if they would be absorbed back into the
FG hospitals following their sack.
