The National Publicity Secretary of
the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), Mr. Osita Okechukwu
has bemoaned the continued face-off between striking medical doctors
and the Federal Government.
The Doctor's industrial action which centres mainly on demands for improved welfare packages in the health sector has gone on for many weeks now without any end in sight.
However Okechukwu, who is still in a painful mood after failing to get adequate medical attention to save his undergraduate son from dying last weekend, has urged the federal, state government and the Nigeria Medical Association to do all within their powers to resolve forthwith the impasse.
According to Okechukwu who is also a chieftain of the All progressives Congress (APC) the lingering strike by the doctors contributed immensely to the death of his son, Matthias Koso Okechukwu.
Matthias, a third year Law student at Baze University Abuja took ill and was rushed to a private hospital in Abuja but unfortunately his situation became critical and needed specialist attention at the National Hospital which could not be readily available.
