AMLSN resolves crisis, installs new national president

The Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN) has resolved its leadership crisis with the installation of Dr. Uche Odionyemms as its new national President.

This decision was made at a stakeholders’ meeting held in Owerri on Saturday, chaired by Prof. Dennis Edo Agbonlahor.

The meeting brought together 32 representatives from 14 critical stakeholders, including past presidents, national executive officers, and zonal representatives.

The stakeholders resolved to enforce the AMLSN Constitution and Code of Conduct to address indiscipline among members.

They also agreed to ensure that electoral committees adhere to constitutional provisions and commended the Board of Trustees for swearing in the new national president.

The leadership urged Dr. Casmir Ifeanyi to pursue his case legally and stop parading himself as National President, emphasizing the importance of abiding by the Constitution and rule of law.

They called for the resumption of association activities at the AMLSN Secretariat with adequate security measures and promoted transparency and accurate information dissemination.

The stakeholders stressed the need for Alternative Dispute Resolution but noted that court judgments have overtaken this option. They called for the amendment of the constitution but advised against frequent reviews.
