President Goodluck Jonathan promised
yesterday to end the doctors’ and
university teachers’ strike.
The teachers’ is over 90 days. Members of
the National Association of Resident
Doctors (NARD) are also on strike. The
professionals are blaming the government
for failing to meet up with the agreement
reached with them.
Jonathan promised to end the strike when he
received the leaders of the Nigerian Medical
Association (NMA), led by its President, Dr.
Osahon Enabulele.
Presidential spokesman Dr. Reuben Abati, in
a statement on the meeting which reporters
were prevented from covering, said the
President promised to do his all to resolve all
issues that caused disputes.
He said the government attached great
importance to the medical and educational
sectors.
He said: “I believe that we must manage both
sectors in such a way that nobody engaged in
them will think of going on strike again.
“We will continue to proactively evolve
measures that will help us to permanently
overcome the problems that lead to strikes
by health and education professionals,” he
added.
To facilitate rapid establishment of more
centres of medical excellence in the country,
President Jonathan pledged that the Federal
Government would fully explore the option of
creating a special intervention fund.
