That a 30-day ultimatum be issued to Federal Government of Nigeria through the Federal ministry of health starting from Monday 2/04/18 to mandate all the CMDs / MDs of Teaching hospitals and Federal medical centers to respect and implement the 2014 circular on tenure of Residency Training Program.
2. Immediate and unconditional reinstatement of unjustly sacked residents in JUTH and other related centres.
3. Immediate release of all withheld ARD JUTH monthly capitations.
4. That the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria should, as a matter of urgency, sign into law the Residency Training Program Bill (RTPB) that is waiting for his accent.
