health
institutions to fill the vacancies created by resident doctors who have
“abandoned” their programme.
Resident doctors in government hospitals embarked on a nationwide strike on Monday.

“It has come to the notice of the management of the ministry that some
resident doctors in your establishment have voluntarily withdrawn from
the residency training program by refusing to report for training
without authorisation. public service rule, PSR 030402 (e) is relevant.
“This is in spite of the ongoing negotiations on their demands put
forward by the representatives of the National Association of Resident
Doctors (NARD) under the auspices of the Nigerian Medical Association.
“In view of this development, you are hereby directed to replace all the
doctors that have withdrawn their services, with others from the pool
of applicants for the training programs in the various disciplines in
order not to create ominous gap in training with attendant disruption of
health care delivery in your facility.
“Meanwhile, the ministry is working with the panel on the review of the
residency training programme in Nigeria, led by Professor Wole Atoyebi,
the registrar of the National Postgraduate Medical College, to
fast-track the development of a comprehensive blueprint for postgraduate
training of doctors in the country.
