The Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics, NAMDA, says it has concluded plans to embark on a three day warning strike on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 across medical schools in the country.

The acting National Secretary General of the association, Prof. Aniekan Peter, in a statement made available to journalists in Uyo on Wednesday, said the decision was taken at the end of the National Emergency Council meeting.

Peter regretted that despite the dearth of medical lecturers and the worsening ‘Japa syndrome’, the Federal Government appears to have continued to ignore the legitimate concerns of medical lecturers.

The body described as antithetical the wish of the Federal Government to mass produce medical doctors without prioritizing the welfare of lecturers who train the medical students.
