This is the most sincere government Nigeria has ever had – Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire tells striking resident Doctors

Dr. Osagie Ehanire, Nigeria's Minister of Health, has called on the members of the National Association of Resident Doctors in Ngeria, to call off their strike action and return to work.

According to him, the striking doctors should believe the promises made so far by the Buhari-led government as this is the most sincere and serious government Nigeria has even had.

Speaking when he appeared on Channels TV Friday morning, June 19, Ehanire said

He recalled that the present government paid the Nigerian Airways pension arrears as well as kept to other promises it made to Nigerians. He called on the striking doctors to reconsider their action for the interest of the country, assuring them that the government will keep to its end of the bargain.

Members of the National Association of Resident Doctors began a nationwide strike on Monday, June 15 over the failure of the government to pay them their COVID-19 allowances among other issues.
