The Joint Health Sector Workers Union (JOHESU), Delta state chapter has urged the federal government to redesign the residency program in a manner that it will no longer create unnecesary crisis as is being experienced currently.

 

Comrade Anthony Ashiedu, Chairman o f the state chapter, while reacting in respect to the suspencison of the residency training programme in all federal health institutions by the federal government said "Government should employ them as medical officers, let them go to school like other healthcare professionals do, to acquire post graduate studies and pay thier fees by themselves. 

 

This is what we have been kicking against. Government is training them and paying them salaries at the same time, yet they join hands with consultants and doctors to abuse government, holding the country to ransom as they like

 

Describing thier actions as the one who bites the fingers that feed it, comrade Ashiedu however called on the resident doctors to show remorse
