It says the umbrella body for all doctors in Nigeria is the mother association to the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) and hence as a matter of policy must protect/promote her interest.
The NMA also said that “it is our belief that this avoidable labour dispute has gone on for far too long to the detriment of the common Nigerian citizen. We hereby call on our Government to quickly conclude measures to resolve all areas of disagreement and eschew all punitive responses in the interest of industrial harmony”.
In a statement signed by the President of the association, Dr. Uche R. Ojinmah, NMA also called on NARD to extend a gesture of goodwill towards the Government in the interest of suffering patients and fellow citizens.
“Let’s put aside all obstacles (contrived or real) towards a speedy resolution of this dispute for the love of the Nation. A better Nigeria is a tangible reality if we all do right by this nation. God bless all Nigerian doctors taking care of Nigerians in Nigeria”. The president said.
