The Nigerian Medical Association
(NMA) has planned to withdraw all its members from public health institutions
across the country from Wednesday, December 18, 2013. This was one of the
resolutions reached at the end of the union’s December 2013 National Executive
Council meeting held in Minna, Niger State , over the weekend. A communiqué
issued at the end of the meeting and jointly signed by the national president,
Dr. Osahon Enabulele and national secretary, Dr Akpufuoma Pemu, said the
decision to embark on five days warning strike was arrived at after the
expiration of several ultimatums issued to the Federal Government to meet its
demands, the last which expired on Saturday, December 14, 2013. The NMA said it
had directed all it members in public health institutions to withdraw their
services with effect from 8a.m. on that day and, therefore, appealed to members
of the public “to bear with the association during the period of withdrawal of
services.
