the 21-day ultimatum The Nigerian Medical Association issued to the Federal Government draws to a close on July 23, the Association warned it will ground medical services nationwide if the government fails to meet its demands.
The president Prof Bala Audu, confirmed this in an exclusive interview noted that the association was prepared to take decisive action should the government fail to respond adequately to its demands.
