 And the commencement of the five-day warning strike by members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors across the country is already taking its toll on medical activities. The president of the Association of Resident Doctors, ARD, at the University of Elori Teaching Hospital, Dr. Ejaya Mubarak, in an exclusive interview with our correspondent, said the ARD members were complying totally with the directive of its national body. It's the issue of 15% for the eighth budget, which was approved and agreed in 2001 during the Abuja declaration. Even this current budget now I think is a 5.7% percent. So we are telling governments to do the needful by going with the agreement they did in 2001 about Abuja, and this will go along to assist the sector, not just with the doctors alone, because it will improve the infrastructure within the hospital. It will improve medicine and service delivery as well. Dr. Mubarak slammed the bills seeking to compel medical and dental graduates to render a five-year compulsory service in Nigeria before being granted licensed to practice.
