Kano State Peace Committee (KPC) has commended the Nigerian Medical Association for shelving its planned service withdrawal at the Murtala Specialist Hospital.
It could be recalled that the Kano NMA alleged that the Hon. Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Amina Abdullahi Sani, assaulted one of its members at her duty post. Unfortunately, the development led NMA to threaten withdrawal of service if the Commissioner was not sacked.
In a statement on Thursday, the Convener and Head of Secretariat, Amb. Ibrahim Waiya commended Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for resolving the crisis.
Part of the statement read;
“We have therefore learned that the Kano State Branch has now heeded the request of His Excellency, and consequently resolved to shelve the plan of mass action
“The Kano Peace Committee is therefore pleased to commend the leadership of the NMA, for the demonstrated high sense of maturity, responsibility, and humanity.
“We wish to equally commend His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kano State, for the demonstrated leadership quality and maturity in handling the matter.
“The Kano Peace Committee shares the pain of the aggrieved medical personnel, and we pray that the Almighty Allah shall continue to reward the huge sacrifice our medical personnel make in the State, in their commitment towards serving the good people of Kano State.
“It is also our candid opinion that your sacrifice should not go unnoticed or ignored and deserves a reciprocal behavior
“While we once again appreciate the NMA leadership in Kano State, for reconsidering their earlier position on the planned mass action, let us continue to remain committed to the service of humanity, as professionals, who are guided by ethical principles, values, and practices, with saving the lives as the top priority.”
