Somebody once told me that Med lab scientists have complained about Doctors competing with them in their field of work, Now this happens. Anyway, expecting some sort of conflict soon.

It is terrible, some professionals find it difficult to stick to their purview of practice in Nigeria. The laws have clearly defined the practice of every professional in the healthcare sector.

NextAbuja:
While the procedure to nominate the chairman should be adhere i doubt if going on strike will change anything. No be today we de strike for Nigeria.

You clearly have never taken a patient to a government hospital during strike by Health professionals.

BrighterSyde:


That something else is the unwritten laws guided by simple human logic.

What is the common sense in choosing a chairman of the board to lead a professional group that he is not a member of? Even when the law is against it?

If we go to Papua New Guinea and get someone to come preside over Nigeria, even against the constitution, will you proclaim it as common sense?

Why do you encourage lawlessness, even in the face of glaring facts?

Optional09:


Fvck you! i don’t want to hear shit from you ok

Close your mouth. It smells.

BrighterSyde:


I see that we differ in our understanding of common sense and its application. We cannot have any meaningful discourse if this is what common sense means to you.

The law was made with common sense, why abandon it for something else?

Wike you are not sure of seeing 2027.

You even look like someone suffering a terminal disease.

femisplash:
In a very terse statement, you can't give what you don't have. Can southeast pull off a national protest?, do they have the dog in them to fight?, i honestly do not think so. When Prof. Yusuf Usman was asked why the SE are not talking(joining in protests), his response was that he didn't know. Maybe truly, maybe he was being sarcastic, however, historical antecedents and pattern of events have shown quite revealingly that SE has never been a forceful region to gather a momentum for a nationwide protest with an end product for change and national redirection. SE are more docile and submissive, more often than not, they needed a push from other regions to set them on the tangent. Since 1960, all major protests, never had any been ignited in the east. 1987 Ali must go, 1993 democratic movement, 1988 Anti-SAP, 2012 subsidy protest, 2020 End SARS, were either brewed from the SW, SS or North. To be candid, asking SE to talk is a weight a bit too much for them, they're much a less forceful region in Nigeria.

Femi enu gbe, at the end of your story, a plate of elubo and okele is now 300% higher in price.. Las Las..na die you dey.

Lock up that mechanic and pay other prisoners to torture him every night.

After relocating your family abroad with the money you got from Emilokan. Ok na..

SwissMass:
I am telling you it wouldn't have matter if it Obi or eze

Shift, let professionals discuss. This is far above your pay grade and brain grade.

BrighterSyde:


While there is no law against it would you be comfortable if a medical Dr headed the transport ministry? Not everything should be done by law but by common sense.

Billions were spent by lawmakers to make those laws. Nigeria has some of the best and well thought out laws, but implementation is the bane.


Maybe it is good for the police to the leave procedures and arrest you for the murder committed by another person, since your face looks like that of a murderer and a yahoo boy. The police may be using his common sense. How about that?

The law is the law.

SwissMass:
He wouldn't have broken the law if he Peter Obi's people

This is a professional matter. If he appointed a Monsuru or Fatima, as long as he or she is a Fellow of the Council and nominated by the Professional Association, the person is good to go.

Go and read the MLSCN Act. He should follow the lawful procedure. Shikena.

BrighterSyde:
…we have seen lawyers head transport ministries so this isn’t surprising

There is no law that stops a lawyer from heading the transport ministry.

But there is a law in the MLSCN Act that stipulates how the Chairman of the Board of the Council must be appointed.

First he MUST be a FELLOW of the Medical Laboratory Scientists Council (equivalent of Medical and Dental Council), secondly he MUST be nominated by the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists (AMLSN) the equivalent of NMA.

None of these procedures were followed. They just brought the man from wherever and made him Chairman of a board he knows next to nothing about. Total chaos has now been instigated in healthcare system. I do not rule out strike action in health sector soon.

Nigerians should prepare to see their magicians and babalawos for diagnosis and blood transfusion.

BrighterSyde:
…we have seen lawyers head transport ministries so this isn’t surprising

When one thinks the administration will get better, it keeps getting worse with uninformed decisions and appointments.

Last Monday, 2 Medical Scientists got their H1B Visas to practice in the USA, after writing their proctored exams and passing the pre-requisites..

One will be resuming at the Harvard medical Centre in Boston to join another one who already resumed there last month. These guys are from one facility. Just one Medical Laboratory facility.

I am 40 and feel the same. I was 12 when Femi Kuti sang "Wonder" - a sound about would Nigeria and Africa ever change?

Femi was 33 years old, he is now in his 60s. Nigeria gets worse with each new leader. Gladly I japa-ed in my early 20s after seeing the trajectory of Nigeria from my teenage years.

Except for the likes of Sowore, Nigerians politicians are elites, and are one and same. You would see them marrying their kids to each other, attending parties together and living together in harmony at the top while they divide the masses with all sort of issues.

Your point?

On the 15th of February, the Leadership Newspaper reported the political appointment and re-appointment of some Executive leaders of agencies under the Federal Ministry of Health.
One such appointment was the appointment of the Chairman of the Governing Board of the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN), this is a body that is statutorily saddled with the regulation of Medical Diagnostic Laboratory practices, control of In Vitro Diagnostics, the registration of Medical Laboratory Scientists across all cadres among other salient functions within medical laboratory ecosystem.

The president was however misled to exclude erudite and qualified medical laboratory scientists and further appoint a physician and non-professional of the council as chairman of the MLSCN, in the person of Dr Babajide Salako, who is to resume office on the 19th of February, 2023.

The president without regard and sensitivity to delicate interprofessional accords and ceasefires in the healthcare system, was misled to throw caution to the wind and appoint a board chairman who is a non-member of a profession he is intended to regulate. How do you expect such a person to know the yearnings and plight of the professionals he intends to superintend?

The physicians have their own council- the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), can a Medical Lab Scientist, Pharmacist, or Nurse be appointed as Chairman of the MDCN that regulates physician practice? Is that not a recipe for acrimony if such ever happens? What is good for the goose, should also be good for the gander.

This is the position of the Law on this matter-

"The MLSCN Act 11 of 2003, Section 3 subsection 1, stipulates that 'a Chairman SHALL be a qualified FELLOW of the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria with 5 years post-qualification experience and shall be appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Minister from a list of FELLOWS submitted by the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN)". The law is clear and unambiguous about who presides over medical laboratory science practice in Nigeria as Board Chairman.

Dr Babajide Salako, without any prejudice against his person, does not clearly qualify to be the board chairman of the MLSCN. He is not a Fellow of the Council of MLSCN and he is not a member of AMLSN. These are basic requirements he must meet first. This effectively and effectually makes his appointment an anomaly.
Several court judgments have also made it clear that medical laboratory science is a distinct profession and not an apron string of any other profession and can not be headed by a member of any other profession in whatever capacity.

Are we still in the lawless era of slavery? Or is this just a political compensation? Why not compensate him adequately as the Executive Chairman of the Board of Medical and Dental Council (MDCN)? If he must be compensated. Must the law always be thrown under the bus for the personal aggrandizement of a few, at the expense of public interest?

There are many erudite and qualified Medical Laboratory Scientists who have given their blood, sweat, and tears for the professional development of medical laboratory practice and have toiled for the Council over the years, making it a respected body in the comity of nations. Some of them are Professors and Doctoral holders of great international reputations.
A globally revered and renowned Nigerian Medical Laboratory Scientist, Dr Godswill Okara is the first African to be elected as a Board member of the International Federation of Biomedical Laboratory Scientists (IFBLS) in Suwon, South Korea. There are many other internationally respected medical scientists, too legion to mention.
Why go out of the professional milieu to pick an outsider to head this group of internationally respected professionals as Board Chairman?

Medical Laboratory Diagnosis is the core of modern healthcare and it is not to be treated with nonchalance and levity. Once proper diagnosis fails in the medical space, patients will resort to seeing glorified magicians, poly-herbal quacks, miracle hawkers, and other charlatans. The most likely result from this is needless and avoidable loss of lives.
This penchant for lawlessness is one of the reasons why the average life expectancy in Nigeria is less than 53 years. Due to lawlessness, life is nasty, short, and brutish, and now hunger has been thrown into the toxic mix of the whole mess. How does the average Nigerian survive?

It is unfortunate that while other countries are putting round pegs in round holes, President Tinubu has been ill-advised to put square pegs in round holes, possibly by political vultures hovering around him.

In Australia, where many Nigerian-trained professionals practice this great profession, as Medical Scientists, the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists (AIMS) is led by Professor Denise Jackson, a Medical Scientist and specialist in Blood Transfusion Science. In Ireland, the profession is led by Helen Barry, an erudite Chief Medical Scientist. In Canada, these medical laboratory professionals are led by Christen Nielsen, also a revered Medical Laboratory Professional. These are some of the countries where Nigerian medical laboratory professionals travel to seek greener pastures, especially as the country continues to grapple with the brain drain of medical laboratory professionals across all sectors and strata.

Placing a ceiling over their heads by appointing a non-member of their profession to regulate them will always create stormy issues, and this will drive more of them out of the country, where they can be assured of their professional and personal growth.

The appointment is not in the best interest of the profession and Nigerians who are still battling with the difficulty of meeting Universal Health Coverage. Triggering toxic interprofessional rivalry in the health sector with this ill-advised appointment will erode some of the gains earned in the past years.

Former President Buhari's monumental and gargantuan failure can be traced to the prevalence of wholesale political lobbyists and sleazy appointment pushers with dubious missions, parading the corridors of Aso Rock and creating confusion for the presidency during his time. President Tinubu is likely been pushed down the same path of ignominy.

With this unhealthy appointment, Nigerians should expect massive and continued brain-drain of medical laboratory professionals, lack of job satisfaction, a possible industrial showdown in the healthcare sector, and its attendant cascading negative effect on medical diagnosis in the Nigerian medico-sphere.

It is in the best interest of Nigerians, that the laws governing the establishment of MLSCN be followed to the latter and the appointment rescinded. Let the professionals who know the plight, the principles, and the idiosyncrasies of their profession, run their profession at the highest level.

It will be beneficial to the president and Nigerians that the governing laws regulating the appointment of the Board Chairman of the MLSCN be followed to the letter in the interest of Nigerians.
It is my view that the leadership of AMLSN, GMLD, AFMLS, and other affiliate groups in the medical laboratory profession seek an audience with the president and enlighten him on the importance of maintaining professional harmony in the health sector by rescinding the ill-advised appointment. To be forewarned...

This man is struggling to keep members. They have seen through him for what he is.

The Igbo man no get time for anyone. They are super survivors and have proven that over time.

They are still battling with themselves, that's why they can't stop standing against the Igbos.Those who have worked against Igbo interest in Nigeria, should forgive themselves first.

Water will find its level in the long run, no matter how man tries to unbalance nature.

Just continue enjoying your 'boko haram' loot, with your properties in Dubai..One day you will be called to account.

He is a police personnel with raping and robbery as side hustle..

Benjamin Hundeyin, he is your boy.. Pick him up immediately..

EmperorCaesar:


I really do not get him, is he tryna attribute this heat wave to the doings of the FG??
Well, that EEDC has ensured there will not be stable electricity in Awka isnt the fault of the FG cause BEDC is doing really well for those in Akure


My point is, He shouldnt blame the FG for the unstable power supply in his states as other states are having a better share and I do not think thats the FG's doing

Lemme check the shape of his head
It isnt flat, Copernicus long proved that the Earth is spherical

Hotzone:
This woman is part of the problem, Nigeria language is English so if u think u talking to ur tribesmen why don’t u have a village meeting

If she speaks in English, agbado urchins will claim she is Ibo. In fact they are already calling an IPOB Ibo, even when she is clearly yoruba.

Okwyjesus:


Pastor Adeboye is not the problem of Nigeria. He is helping to solve the problem with the church cutting edge CSR and employing thousands including helping to develop Mowe axis of Lagos / Ibadan expressway.

Don't ever insult him else you won't live to his age of 82.

It's not everybody you insult and go free.

You are free to insult me, but don't cross the fire red line

Onye eriri eri..

Na you and who dey build Nigeria. You buy cement keep for the building of Nigeria?

Be wise on what, exactly? Invest in home? I don't know why people keep making this kind of statement. A business man will always chase his customers, wherever he resides. Most of you are fond of saying, " come home and invest ". As if the so called home is even business friendly, with all the greed, envy, family issues and ease of doing business. Please allow Igbos in Lagos to expand their businesses in peace in Lagos or else where in Nigeria if they want. My cousins are in the east, running their businesses and I hear lots of challenges, issues and harassment they face there.

Where are you from?

Alexis11:


Your negative emotions mixed with hunger won't change the fact that you Igbos are doing far less than Yorubas and most Northerners. You only like to lie to yourselves in order to conceal part of your pains and failure. You are simply miserable in everything and only know how to cry victimization.

You guys are the least in the pecking order in this country and that is why it has become a common practice in the East to sell your child to feed.

I am in Aussie, earn in dollars as a medic and send home funds for properties every month. Poverty and hunger have been conquered in my family even before I was born, I have nailed it's coffin and expelled it from lineage to my next 20th generation.

Read my post history and get the point dude.

You are a sandmouthed Agbadorian and like your master tinubu said, you no go chop statistics, but to chop sand sure for you and your family going forward.

Mr alagbado, na die you dey.

Babinski:


Pastor Adeboye's job is winning souls for Christ and not as a political activist, critic or social commentator. You cannot expect him to start inciting people against the Government because we all know how ruthless and vindictive our politicians are. It will be total lack of focus to get into political fights that can hamper his ministry and affect his primary duty.

Yes, he was winning souls for Christ when he was criticizing Jonathan, or was he winning Nigeria for his devilish APC party?

Yes, Adeboye was a member of the APC in 2015. I went for a job interview in their RCCG medical centre that year. Half of questions were politically-related not professional questions.

Adeboye is one of the reasons why this country is in shambles. God bless that woman in the video.
