The federal government has warned that House Officers on mandatory two-year housemanship training that embark on strike would be made to repeat the posting without remuneration. This was contained in a statement signed by Registrar, Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria , Dr. Tajudeen Sanusi.

The statement said, “During the housemanship, doctors and dentists are required to undertake 12 weeks’ uninterrupted postings in each of Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Paediatrics and other relevant specialties for dentistry. “Embarking on strike actions by house officers will lead to repeat of the posting afresh without remuneration.
