NMA Disowns Unauthorized Delegates Meeting, Warns Members

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) issued a statement on Tuesday, disowning a planned delegates meeting that was described as an unauthorized attempt by certain individuals to convene outside the association's constitutional framework. Dr.

Mannir Batur, a member of the NMA's national executive committee, stated that these individuals falsely claimed to represent the association. The NMA emphasized that it does not empower any group or individual to unilaterally summon meetings outside established procedures, declaring the planned gathering as illegal and null.

The association warned its members to disregard the meeting and cautioned against any actions that could incite disorder, stating that those found using the NMA's name for such purposes would be held accountable. The NMA reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining institutional integrity and urged members to avoid unauthorized activities that could undermine the association's unity and stability.
