Medicine graduates without licenses barred from NYSC

By
The Registrar/Chief Executive of MDCN, Dr. Abdulmumini Ibrahim, said in a statement on Monday 10th of November in Abuja that graduates of medicine would henceforth be barred from participating in the compulsory NYSC until they have secured a licence to practise, ThisDay reports.

The licences are issued by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.

Ibrahim said:

“There has been an increasing number of persons who are impersonating medical doctors. The NYSC has inundated us with complaints. Those who have completed their one-year internship have been given certificates. They can only go to service upon presentation of their licences.

The council has directed that the practice of admitting persons into the NYSC as doctors on the strength of receipt of payment of the application fee for full registration be discontinued. The practice has become a means for quacks to gain advantage into the scheme.

This decision was communicated to the NYSC and it was implemented with effect from the orientation camp in May that only fully registered doctors should be admitted to the scheme. Accredited internship training centres were written, informing them of this policy.

The doctors were informed to submit their duly completed and properly signed forms, at least one month to the date of opening of the orientation camp. Most did and they have received their certificates of full registration. A few have problems with their postings which have to be clarified and rectified before their names could be entered into the register.”

Obasanjo's Plans for ING

By Author
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday. There are insinuations that Obasanjo is not well disposed to Buhari either and would want an interim national government (ING) to be headed by him to midwife new elections in which neither Jonathan nor Buhari would be candidates.

My prayer was that as a seasoned General you would not only flush out king pins and barons but retrieve the loot as you napped them one after the other but we see them working for you. Is th...
