The minister on Tuesday in Abuja received executives of NMA in his office and declare his support for the games and Nigerian doctors at large.

“I’m proud of our medical practitioners they are one of the best in the world. It is very encouraging to see what you do for the common people. The ministry is in total support of this game and will do everything possible to ensure it’s a success,” the minister stated.

Chairman NMA National Sports committee, Dr Uche Roland Ojinma, says the 2022 games will foster unity among members.

“We hope to include other health workers so that it will be an avenue to foster unity, solidarity and friendship across the health workforce. Between the medical doctors, the pharmacist, the lab scientists and even the nurseS, so that we’ll have a peaceful coexistence that will go beyond our place, into the field of play” he said.

The NMA also had in attendance the FCT Council chairman Dr Enema Ahmodu and other council executives.
