We changed the course of history in Nigeria and we won. For the first time ever in Nigeria, doctors have a regulated working hours.
This historic victory was not achieved alone. It took a village of courageous leaders, dedicated colleagues, and thousands of everyday citizens who believed that those who care for our lives deserve to have theirs protected too.
From the bottom of my heart, I extend my deepest gratitude to Senator @SenatorYaradua for his unwavering leadership in giving our petition a voice on the floor of the Nigerian Senate when doors were closed.
I am profoundly thankful to the Honorable Minister of Health @muhammadpate and the Minister of State for Health @SalakoIziaq listening to our cries, recognizing the urgency of reform, and approving the first-ever National Policy on Work Hour Regulation.
To the leadership of @nard_nigeria and @nationalnma , our NARD President @mohagirei for making this policy your top priority and fighting for us at every negotiation table; the NMA President Dr @balaudu19 , VP @Jebzmanchini and past NARD Presidents Dr @DeleAbdullahi1 and Dr. Osundare, thank you for building the foundation and keeping the flame alive.
My sincere thanks also go to Dr Abdulbasit Ahmad @sir_baasit for standing up boldly to represent our collective voice during the Senate public hearings with honor and courage.
I owe so much to the media, journalists, TV networks, and bloggers who amplified our stories, produced documentaries, and kept this conversation in the public eye.
To my family and friends, thank you for wiping my tears, holding me up on days I felt like giving up, and believing in this vision even when the mountain seemed too high to climb.
And to the 4,774 supporters and the public, every single person who signed the petition, shared a post, commented, or prayed for us, you are the reason the Nigerian doctor can finally go home to their loved ones after a 24-hour call.
We asked for change, we fought with truth, and together... we won. Thank you all. God bless the Nigerian doctor, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Very true. The diasporas are watching carefully to see what has changed in Nigeria's hostile business environment before deciding whether it's safe enough to come in and invest medic-preneurship related businesseshere at home. The government need to do more than lip service.

“There's no accountability in this country.”
@Jebzmanchini says accountability must be strengthened in the health sector so that public funds are properly tracked, used for their intended purpose, and translated into better services for Nigerians.

To every Nigerian doctor, get everyone to complete this Questionnaire. This is meant to be the largest National Survey on doctors working hours. LINK: forms.gle/hvgjZe88oevMuRQj8
In honor of Dr Femi Rotifa and all those who have lost their lives due to excessive and unregulated working hours. THIS IS THE FEMI PROJECT. Tell every Nigerian doctor, past and present,wherever they are now, to tell their story. Fill the Questionnaire and we will take it up.

This is meant to be the largest National survey on doctors working hours. There was CHARTING STUDY by @nard_nigeria . The FEMI PROJECT is meant to inform policy reforms for regulating doctors working hours in Nigeria.
We will work with @nationalnma and @nard_nigeria to push for action, ONE MORE TIME, ONE LAST TIME.
It is time we present evidence to the @NGRSenate @MDCNOfficial @Fmohnigeria and demand NO MORE DEATHS.
So please, every doctor that has ever worked in Nigeria, lets make this possible.

Very recently, we took a relative of mine to the hospital, the doctor ordered a UDT. On getting to the lab, they said they didn't have the reagents to carry out the test, but someone was going to come on Monday to do it, "hold 10k cash for the test".

They want me arrested! For exposing all the threats to patients lives at Federal Teaching Hospital Lokoja. It won’t stop me! @MDCNOfficial @muhammadpate @officialABAT @NGRSenate @OfficialOAU #SAVEFTHLOKOJA #regulatedrsworkinghours #abolish32hrsworkeverycallday
#SAVEFTHLOKOJA when patients are exploited financially, doctors overworked and sacked when they speak up, and fraudulent practices consumes a hospital, WE MUST ALL SPEAK UP. This is a dangerous path they say, but i am willing to walk it, for the people of Lokoja.
Dear Mr President sir @officialABAT , we call on you to please intervene and set up an investigation panel into the affairs run by the management of the Federal Teaching Hospital Lokoja. An independent investigation done by @MobilePunch has been published (punchng.com/how-obsolete-fac…) and has revealed all the evil going on in FTH Lokoja. Currently, 5 union leaders of doctors associations have been issued with Sack Letters for speaking this truth.
Dear Hon. Minister of Health sir @muhammadpate we call on you again, to please set up an investigation panel. These doctors are willing to come up with all the evidence to support their claims of the evil practices happening in the hospital. With only 35 Resident doctors, a hospital of that magnitude cannot function optimally. They only continue to put the lives of both the patients and the doctors at risk.
Your excellency sir Gov. @OfficialOAU , please sir, intervene for the love of your people.

A sad day again😔. Another Nigerian Dr Dead after 72hrs Call, despite complaints of being sick which was ignored and still made to work. 💔 How many more death to prove that @MDCNOfficial needs to Regulate Dr’s working hours??😭
Today, we mourn the death of a promising young doctor, Dr Femi. Loved by family and friends, failed by his home country Nigeria 💔. He was also said to have passed his PLAB exams and awaiting a job opportunity in the UK, until this sad event.
This is the sad situation of many Nigerian doctors, most of whom are alive but dying silently from overwork.
We call on @muhammadpate , @FatimaKyari to please put an end to these deaths. It’s time to #regulatedrsworkinghours #abolish32hrsworkeverycallday . We are begging the Nigerian government @officialABAT @NGRSenate to please come to doctors Aid🙏🏻. Lets please regulate Drs working hours now 🙏🏻
