The Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria has today embarked on an indefinite strike action due to the expiration of the 21 day ultimatum given to the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) to withdraw a circular stating consultants require Ph.D’s for career progression in academics.

Hmmm

The issue is whether the amount of research done to be a Fellow (that's medicalese for becoming a consultant) is equal to the type of research needed to have a PhD.

To become a consultant doctor in Nigeria, in addition to passing exams, one must write and defend a dissertation/research project and must pass an oral examination on the dissertation similar to what PhD and master's students do.

The problem with the directive that consultant should get PhD is that most don't have a PhD so this might have impact on the number of lecturers available to train medical students.

In short, the argument is is PhD similar to FWACP, FWACS, FMC?

Another matter is that are our medical colleges equipped enough to support the award of PhD/PhD programs in our universities? Is there enough funding for research projects for medical PhDs?

There is also the issue of University politics, I won't say more!

Dental doctors? Buhari won't answer you. He can only answer ear doctors if they threaten to go on strike

Haaaa. Mouth go smell tire

Mk dem strike abeg

Who did we offend in this country naa

Ok. Hope pharmacy go open

I sincerely pray covid-19 doesn't enter Nigeria... Cos it'll be a disaster (no mincing words). virus already a hotbed in South Korea, Iran and Italy.

Do you think Nigeria (Africa's most populous nation) can effectively place a travel ban on these countries and the remaining that would pop up?

what's the probability of Nigeria escaping this epidermic unscathed?

For just 135k you could get a 1kva Inverter, 100AH rugged deep cycle battery, 150w panel and a 30A controller + installation. The system would serve 10hrs daily on basic loadings. Call on us now!

I knew Bill gate was up to something!

And what might that be?

Government should effect no work no pay. Sack them if necessary. This strike thing is getting crazy and useless.

I totally support this move. The residency training alone should suffice for multiple PhDs
