Days after suspending the Residency Training Programme in all federal hospitals in Nigeria, the Federal Government has lifted the ban on the programme. Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, announced the recall saying it is with effect from Thursday, August 28, 2014. Also reinstated were the over 16,000 resident doctors sacked August 13 in the middle of a strike called by the doctors’ union, Nigerian Medical, Association, NMA. The reinstatement of the resident doctors comes on the heels of the agreement reached by the NMA and the Federal Government. NMA suspended its strike last week after more than a month, but insisted the sacked resident doctors be recalled. Accordingly, all Chief Medical Directors and Medical Directors of the training centres are directed to issue letters of reinstatement to the resident doctors to enable them resume work immediately.
