The 30 doctors allegedly sacked by the management of Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH), Makurdi displayed their sack letters earlier today Wednesday, as they called on the state Governor, Dr Samuel Ortom to intervene.

In a press briefing with newsmen, the President of the Association of Resident Doctors in the institution said about 32 of their members were sacked by the management. According
to her, the sack was not in accordance with the laws regulating Residency Training in Nigeria.

She dispelled the statement of the hospital management who said they had not domesticated the Residency Training law in the hospital, hence were took their actions based on the hospital policy.

The President said, "The Medical Residency Training Act (MRTA) was passed by the national assembly in 2017. A year later, it was signed into law by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari.

"The Act regulates Residency Training in institutions anywhere in Nigeria and Benue State University Teaching Hospital is in Nigeria and ought to abide by the law".

She called on the Benue State Governor, Dr Samuel Ortom to intervene in order to avert crisis in the health sector of the state.

"We are, again, appealing to the amiable Executive Governor of Benue State, His Excellency Dr Samuel Ortom and all other well-meaning sons and daughters of Benue State to prevail on the management of Benue State University Teaching Hospital to obey the law, in order to avert a crisis in the health sector of the state."

Efforts to get access to the Chief Medical Director, Prof Terrumun Swende proved abortive. A source confirmed that he was in a closed meeting with the Governor over the matter and could not respond to calls and messages.

"Sending people to their ealry graves"..na e be dia Mission statement.at dis critical period,not fair.

This time when the whole world is scrambling to get as many medical personnel as possible?! Some people in helms of affairs actually have fufu as brain.

Thought they said 3 ?

The way some people think is appalling.

Doctors are needed now to combat this coronavirus and someone with no brains is sacking these ones!

It is well oooooo

Now that Doctors are in high demand?

Advanced Nations are recalling their medical personel who are retired back to service to help in the fight against this virus?

Nigeria who use your pants do Yahoo?

Benue my beloved state, why do we have a flair for the dramatic.
If what is happening in USA happens in Nigeria even vet Doctors will be employed by this Teaching Hospital, I'm disappointed but not surprised as this is coming from the watch of a young man who's first assignment when he resumed office was to disconnect the hospital from internet services little wonder he still doesn't have an idea what happening around the world, a man who doesn't see constant power supply as a priority.

Shame on us

t

Well, It's fine that they send them off now. If the Head of the state too get sense, he'll intervene. Because, if they should try it after Coronavirus, the Governor might not even see them...

Will they say they are not aware this is coming their way. It was a 6 years contract and it is over.

Some of us will talk as if the people who sacked them are not fellow doctors. When they say hospital management who are the management? No be doctors? I think Doctors need to start grumbling, and complaining at the appropriate quarters instead of blaming ( and killing ) innocent citizens and phantom politicians for their woes

Pls y'all should step aside for the Chinese docs have arrived....

HushPuppi

How could you sack medical Doctors at a time like this?

This is a wrong time,however residency is like schooling, if u fail to pass after many trial, hospital willnt continue to sponsor you.

I thought this was a policy in teaching hospitals generally.Residency program has a duration.

We still have a very long way to go

This is serious.
The Benue state governor should please look into it, since his attention is been sought for.
