He called on Government to put a better surveillance method that will ensure people who are monitored for the virus are confined in their respective domains.

The NMA chairman called on the Federal Government to withdraw the circular sacking 16,000 resident doctors and reinstate them. He advised Government to show commitment to the ongoing dialogue with the doctors rather than heating it up.

The committee set up by the state NMA is headed by Doctor Chingle Moses.
