Bukola Afeni

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has informed the public that the association did not declare strike action and would  be attending to those who want to make use of health services.

The Association made this known in a statement signed by NMA  National Secretary General, Dr Benjamin Egbo.

Recall that on Monday, June 3, 2024  the Nigeria Labour Congress embarked on nationwide strike .

The statement reads: “That though the NMA is not an affiliate of the Organized labour in Nigeria,we share the pains and hardship Nigerians are currently grappling with.

“The NMA has not declared a strike action, hence doctors will be at their duty posts to attend to clients who desire to make use of health services.

“The NMA uses this avenue to call on Government as well as all stakeholders to consider the plight of the average Nigerian and do everything possible to address the issues that have led to the present impasse.”
