 MLSCN CEO/Regristrar Tenure Ends Amidst High Expectation



As the week runs out, news filtered in that the tenure of the
current CEO/Registrar of MLSCN, Prof.'Tony Emeribe has ended
and so he has been asked to proceed on terminal leave by the
board led by the highly respected elder statemam, Dr. N.N. Shidali.
However, other sources reveal that the status quo remain.
Whichever way it goes, MLS in Nigeria are clamouring for a more
vibrant MLSCN especially in the area of accreditation of of public hospitals post Emeribe.
Dr. G.C. Okara has been suggested as a likely successor by
MLS following events as it unfolds. Meanwhile, someone will
need to fill the gap in acting capacity in the eventaulity that
Emeribe proceed on terminal leave.  This time can we have
a female in Dr. Laurena Okoro as Acting Registrar or Alh. M.M. Azeez?
That will be a matter for the board to decide.  Yet insinuations are rife that
Prof. Emeribe is interested in a second term since he is eminently qualified
according to the MLSCN Act.  Where will the pendulum tilt eventually?All fingers
remain crossed.

can they go? The following days will decide.

PhD Degree A Must For AMLSN Presidency
Is PhD or any other higher qualification required as criteria for AMLSN presidency, most MLS
believe so.  This is the result from the poll conducted in
a recent post by the chief Admin. of the allmedlabscientists
forum, Mr. Oni Nelson. Nevertheless, how the poll result will
translate to electoral victory is another matter as candidates
continue to strategise for victory on election day at the
sunshine city, Ondo in September.

JOHESU Gets Circular On Consultancy, Specialist Allowance
One of the gains from the last Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) parley with F.G. is the

gone down well with NMA who is oozing fire and brimstone in
a move to reverse the JOHESU success. But who will laugh last?
Keen watchers of the game think it is JOHESU.  How this will
happen will come to light in the following days.
