The Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN) congratulates President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) on the successful screening and inauguration of the Ministers to constitute the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
For us as members of AMLSN, we hereby reiterate our commitment to work with the government at all levels in Nigeria and with all the appointed ministers especially those in the Federal Ministry of Health ( FMOH) so as to strengthen the Nigerian Health System.
AMLSN specifically noted with delight, that the new Minister of Health- Prof Isaac Adewole- a seasoned university administrator who successfully coordinated various faculties, departments, units, professionals both in health and non health sectors in a renown university, is currently heading the FMoH.
We appeal to the Minister and minister of state for health to handle all professionals in the health sector as requiring equal attention and treatment just as it was done when the new minister was a university Vice Chancellor.
In the same vein, we wish to congratulate the Minister of State for Health (Dr Osagie Ehanire) on his appointment by the President. We also congratulate the newly appointed permanent secretary FMoH (Dr Amina Shamaki) on their well deserved appointments.
It is our hope that all the appointees will deliver the change agenda of President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR).
It is also our expectation, that the FMOH under administration of President Mohammadu Buhari will address the age long cry of the over 90% of the professionals in the health team who have frequently raised alarm on the perpetual oppression by majority of those who were previously at the helm of affairs at the FMOH.
We therefore appeal to Mr President to keep a close eye in the activities of the health sector to ensure justice, equity and fairness to all professional groups in the sector because the inability to manage this in the past has always been the reason for incessant industrial disharmony.
While we continue to show understanding where necessary, it is our believe that the era of impunity and lawlessness are gone for ever!
Again, congratulations!
Alh Toyosi Y Raheem
National President, AMLSN.
