National Executive Council of the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) has issued a 21-day notice of strike to relevant stakeholders to address their demands.
This is contained in a statement issued in Jos at the end of the extraordinary virtual, National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the association .
The statement which was signed by MDCAN president Prof Aminu Mohammad and secretary Prof Daiyabu Ibrahim directed members to take lawful steps not limited to withdrawal of services but legal options where the advertisement for the position of the office of vice chancellor is discriminatory and disenfranchises medical and dental lecturers.
“NEC resolves that any unlawful and discriminatory posture to holders of the medical and dental fellowship qualifications will no longer be tolerated.
All members where such discriminatory adverts are released have been directed to take necessary, lawful means to restore their rights as provided for in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the association said.
