The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has counselled striking doctors in the country to be humble and carry themselves with dignity, rather than “play God or compete with God”. Ngige gave the advice while speaking at the 2nd Summit of Medical Elders Forum on Thursday, in Abuja. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the forum, organised by the Africa Health Budget Network had as its theme, ‘Medical Profession: a Look into the Past, Present and Future’. Nigige expressed his concerns over the state of health nationwide and opined that the medical profession was in danger. “At no time in the history of NMA (Nigerian Medical Association) and the medical association, was I seeing our association and our profession ever being in danger as I am seeing them now. “Many people will not see it, but from where I am sitting and standing, I can see danger ahead. “We are one of the oldest professions on earth, metamorphosing from natural and traditional healers to take away pain from people and consequentially save lives. “We don’t create lives, God creates, we only preserve people’s lives through the act of God. In doing so, God has given us some powers. “But there is something God does not want, God does not want when he gives you powers you use it to try to say that you are like him or you are competing with him. “God loves you to do that which he has asked you to do; to use that power with humility. “Doctors should ask themselves questions; why is it that it is when your colleagues are in government that you go on the greatest number of strikes? “Some of these colleagues were Presidents, Secretaries-General of the Nigerian Medical Association and even NARD (Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors),” Ngige asked? The minister lamented that the government of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) has faced about four strikes since 2015. Resident doctors have been on strike since Monday, August 2, 2021, demanding payment of outstanding doctors’ salaries and hazard allowances minimum, enrolment of doctors in the integrated personal payroll information systems, amongst others, as minimum conditions to call off its indefinite strike. https://punchng.com/dont-compete-with-god-ngige-counsels-striking-doctors/ |

Dam! See talk ![]() Labour laws in Nigeria is a big nonsense. I've read on Nairaland about teachers who earn 16k,20k,23k as salary while the minimum wage in Nigeria is 33k Well, I can only say Ngige is suffering from mouth diarrhea. 2 Likes |

Moferere: APC generally, see how they have made life difficult for the masses. Taxing everything with I dont care attitude, no empathy whatsoever. Close to three weeks now Buhari has been in London. People are dying daily because of lack of health care. Lalasticlala any hope striking doctors will call off? 1 Like |

There is this saying that when your brother is at the top of a tree, you don't eat unripe fruits. Ngige is a medical doctor, yet he expected the striking doctors to continue eating unripe fruits without complaining ![]() 1 Like |

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has counselled striking doctors in the country to be humble and carry themselves with dignity, rather than “play God or compete with God”. Shameless minister, is that all you can say? Honourable minister, If this rubbish you say is what is being said to doctors abroad most of you guys won’t see any doctor or health workers to attend to you when you go to abroad for medical trip. That’s why doctors are leaving this godforsaken failed country. 2 Likes |

This is Ngige midget of a minster is really sick.All his utterances reck of utter idiocy, lack of manners and arrogance. To think that this is the same Chris Ngige that said "...doctors who feel they want to relocate in search of greener pastures are free to do so as the nation has enough medical personnel https://punchng.com/doctors-free-to-leave-nigeria-we-have-enough-ngige/ is the same slowpoke that is today that is expressing "...his concerns over the state of health nationwide and opined that the medical profession was in danger..." |
