The coalition of parents of foreign-trained medical Doctors have threatened legal action against medical and dental council of Nigeria over what it called breaches of the law.

Professor Luqman Diso stated this while addressing newsmen on behalf of the 800 foreign trained doctors held in Kano.

Diso said the provisions of the law provides that Nigerian graduates of accredited foreign medical schools are entitled to provisional registration upon their return to the country to enable them undertake their internship.

However,Nigerian graduates of unaccredited foreign medical schools as well as all expatriate medical Doctors from all foreign medical schools who do not posses recognized professional postgraduate qualifications are required to sit and pass council’s assessment examination before they can be regis tered”

Professor Luqman Diso said despite fulfilling the requirement the regulatory body of medical practitioners in Nigeria have continued to subject the doctors to unnecessary assessment exams at high cost before registration and internship.

Professor Diso said the national youth service corps is mandatory for all Nigerians holding a degree yet the MDCN denied the doctors to participate in the scheme which is also a violation of national law and doctors’ fundamental human rights.

On alleged arbitrariness by MDCN Professor Luqman Diso said the Nigeria’s regulatory body has continued to compel all the foreign trained doctors to take the assessment examination twice a year which made the assessment examination a lucrative venture .

According to the spokesperson of the parents the other way the MDCN is administering assessment exams constitutes a violation of all known procedures for standard examinations where they maintained the same system that get worse every year.

The parents further said they commenced the struggle to demand justice from the MDCN and will not deter until justice is done.

Professor Diso added that they will mobilize not only the critical stakeholders but all Nigerians to understand the truth about the situation and its implications for Nigeria and its health sector.

Published

By Salisu Baso

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

#

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
