The Senior Advocate of Nigeria said in a statement on Wednesday that the National Industrial Court in Abuja “did not grant the order of interim injunction” stopping the strike, contrary to the government’s claim and some media reports.
Falana, who is the Interim Chair, Alliance on Surviving Covid 19 and Beyond (ASCAB), stated that “in view of the intervention of the National Industrial Court in the dispute, the Federal Government should meet the demands of the resident doctors without any further delay so as to pave way for the suspension of all forms of hostilities in the health sector.
Since the Federal Government has continued to toy with the health of the people foreign medical treatment for public officers should be banned.”
He also lamented that “It is unfortunate to note that the Federal Government and State Governments which spend billions of Naira to train medical personnel the other professionals allow them to troop out to serve other countries where conditions of service are qualitatively better that what obtain in Nigeria. The dangerous trend must be halted by the governments.”
The Federal Government, in a move designed to end the industrial action by the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) filed an ex parte motion at the National Industrial Court seeking to restrain the doctors from further continuing with the strike.
