The Association of Hospital and Administrative Pharmacists of Nigeria have said that they are equally as relevant to the health care delivery system of the country as doctors.

In a statement signed by AHAPN Chairman, Mr. Martins Oyewole, and his Secretary, Mr. Jelili Kilani, the body condemned the Nigerian Medical Association for rejecting the harmonisation of all medical and health workers’ salaries.

According to them, every profession in the health care sector has its scheme of service which clearly stipulates job description and corresponding remuneration as approved by the relevant regulatory agencies.

The association accused the NMA of undermining and denigrating other professionals in the sector, by the privileges her members have enjoyed serving as ministers of health and heads of Federal Governmental agencies.

Oyewole stated, “Health care delivery worldwide is a collaborative process, with the patient as the centre of attraction. Every professional has a role to play to ensure optimum patient care. There is nothing fantastic about Nigeria’s health care sector today under the leadership by coercion of NMA.

“It is an open secret that our healthcare sector is in shambles today, due largely to undue territoriality that is the hallmark of Nigerian doctors as against the need to strengthen professionalism.

“In developed societies, every health professional has a defined role to play in the delivery of health care. The medical doctor by his training makes a diagnosis, the pharmacist makes drugs available following the principle of rational drug therapy and pharmaceutical care, the medical laboratory scientist works hard to ensure laboratory tests are carried out to aid diagnosis.

“There is also a role for dieticians, physiotherapists and others, all collaborating for optimum patient care and better patient outcomes, in line with international best practice. We make bold to say that virtually every professional in the health care sector, especially the pharmacist, is highly skilled.

“Pharmacists are even fewer than the medical doctors (compare 40,000 doctors to 20,000 pharmacists) in Nigeria and this is because of the extensive and rigorous training we undergo.”

The association noted that her members were in support of the planned harmonisation of health care workers’ salaries, adding that the move would restore peace to the sector.

Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi who was the APC Presidential campaign manager for the 2015 general election, says Nigerians owe him a lot for working tirelessly as the party campaign manager to bring them out of a corrupt government.

In a recent interview with Channels, Amaechi said Nigerians were tired of the past government.

"Nigerians wanted change. The level of corruption was very high so Nigerians wanted to contribute to remove that government. I believe that Nigerians owe me alot. When I seat in my house, I feel that Nigerians owe me alot.

First, we saved this country from that level of corruption. Corruption where you see $50 million at Osborne street and those who shared in the corruption are busy dancing about it.

False story .. This is really a cover up

Buhari govt has done nothing in terms of the economy of this nation.. Infact the nation's development went back 5 steps backwards .. He fought corruption , the proceed of the corruption are nt visible. Nt been redeployed back into the coffers of the nations income, it is nt his fault that crude price dropped and he claim he met an empty savings. But his policies and method of management do not better the lot of common . no palliative measure to make policy less harsh on the citizen so in conclusion he really did nt make impact.

Well its d gospel truth Sha .. Though obj has done a lot of bad things but I still have this weak spot for him ... I stand to be corrected ... Obj is a mixed man .

Jobless youth ..
