A deep lack of trust in the Federal Government’s ability to implement its promises is responsible for the prolonged strike of resident doctors across the country, the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has revealed.
President of the NMA, Innocent Ujah, disclosed this while speaking on Channels Television’s flagship programme, Sunrise Daily.
“The problem we face is that when agreements are signed, everybody goes to sleep.
“So there is this distrust among workers. And this is not good for the country; because we expect that those who work for our President should be truthful, honest and should comply with the agreement,” Ujah said.

There were indications that the three-week-old strike would soon be called off after the doctors, under the aegis of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) met with Federal Government representatives in Abuja over the weekend.
The meeting was brokered, in part by the NMA, which is the parent body of all doctors in the country.
But the resident doctors refused to sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) produced at the end of the meeting, citing the government’s decision to institute a court action over the strike.
The resident doctors also said the government must reverse its ‘no work, no pay’ policy.
