ministry that some resident doctors in your establishment
have voluntarily withdrawn from the residency training
program by refusing to report for training without
authorisation. public service rule, PSR 030402 (e) is relevant.
“This is in spite of the ongoing negotiations on their
demands put forward by the representatives of the National
Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) under the auspices
of the Nigerian Medical Association.
“In view of this development, you are hereby directed to
replace all the doctors that have withdrawn their services,
with others from the pool of applicants for the training
programs in the various disciplines in order not to create

review of the residency training programme in Nigeria, led
by Professor Wole Atoyebi, the registrar of the National
Postgraduate Medical College, to fast-track the development
of a comprehensive blueprint for postgraduate training of
doctors in the country.
“Please, ensure immediate compliance.”
