Dr. Osagie Ehanire, the Minister of Health, disclosed this to newsmen in Abuja on Thursday.
Ehanire said seven out of the twelve demands presented by NARD were within the jurisdiction of the state governments, and weren’t justifiable cause for a nationwide strike.Ehanire said, “In their notice of July 25, 2021, they mentioned states like Imo, Kaduna, Delta and Lagos. The Federal Government cannot force these states to do anything.
The minister further stated that he hoped the doctors would understand that the ongoing strike wouldn’t give them a good image, adding: “I believe they’ll call a meeting and reassess some of the issues they tabled. He added, “In Nigeria, we’re not the only ones suffering from it, some other developing countries also suffer from it too because they studied in English they easily get into those countries.
