There was anxiety at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Wednesday as medical consultants withdrew their services in protest against a circular that prescribed acquisiti

on of PhD for clinical lecturers in Nigerian universities.The National Universities Commission had, in the circular dated December 24, 2019, addressed to vice-chancellors of all Nigerian universities and the registrar of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, indicated that PhD programmes should be introduced in the clinical sciences in the university system.

While declaring an indefinite strike to press home its demands for the withdrawal of the circular on Wednesday, the MDCAN said the policy stood logic on its head. He said, “It is ancient logic that efficiency is compromised whenever the cart is placed before the horse. This is what the obnoxious NUC circular on PhD for clinical lecturers in Nigerian universities that was released represents.

“This justifiably provoked sufficient upset for us to call an emergency meeting of our association in Abuja on January 4. MDCAN met again two weeks later in Port Harcourt and following extensive deliberations, a 21-day ultimatum was issued to the NUC to withdraw the circular but sadly, our demand was ignored.
