As part of the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative #NHRSII and in furtherance of the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR (@officialABAT), to improve quality health outcomes and strengthen health system performance, the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (@Fmohnigeria) has established a National Taskforce for Clinical Governance and Patient Safety.

The establishment of this Taskforce reflects a deliberate, system-wide effort to strengthen clinical standards, patient safety, accountability, and learning across public and private health facilities.

The Taskforce is oriented toward improvement, active learning, appropriate incentives, and capacity building across the health system, with emphasis on prevention and systems strengthening rather than blame or punitive action in the absence of proven negligence.

In this briefing from my desk, I outline the rationale, scope, and direction of the Taskforce, grounded in coordinated governance, prevention, and continuous improvement.

When communities act, health misinformation slows and families stay safer.

Our recent discussion highlights how families, youth groups, religious institutions, and market leaders can help prevent false health information this holiday season.

UPDATE ON E-NEC MEETING HELD ON 02/01/26

Good evening distinguished NARDITES.

The NOC appreciates your patience, resilience, and continued support in our collective struggle for doctors’ welfare.

Following the E-NEC meeting, the following resolutions were reached:

- NEC resolved to resume TICS 2.0 tagged “No Implementation, No Going Back” with effect from 12th January 2025 by 12:00am.

- NEC has also mandated every centre President from the 91 centres to do a congress meeting and at the end do a press conference.

📢 We want 91 press conferences to saturate the spaces over the next 7 days👈🏻

We will then resume TICS 2.0 on Monday 12 Jan, 2026 at 12am

- NEC has also directed centre based protests from 12 -16th January, 2026

👉🏻 After the centre based protests, regional protests at caucus leaders level shall be carried out.

👉🏻 NEC has also directed a national protests to be organized by the NARD NOC

👉🏻 NEC agreed that TICS 2.0 suspension will only be considered after full implementation of the following minimum demands:

1. Re-instatement of the FTH Lokoja five.

2. Payment of promotion and salary arrears.

3. Full implementation of professional allowance table with arrears captured in the 2026 budget.

4. Official clarification on skipping and entry-level issues by FMOH & SW to Chief Executives.

*5. Re-introduction and implementation of the Specialist Allowance.*

6. Resolution of House Officers’ salary delays and arrears, with issuance of a pay advisory.

7. Re-categorization of membership certificates and issuance of certificates post Part I by NPMCN.

8. Commencement of locum and work-hours regulation committees.

9. Resumption and timely conclusion of the CBA process

The one-week window provided is strategic to allow proper congress meetings, media engagement, and statutory notifications of the planned protest to security personnel ( DSS, Commissioner of Police, Civil Defence) as well as hospital management.

The NOC appreciates the guidance of NEC and assures all members of full commitment to these resolutions. Engagements will be intensified in the coming days.

Stay calm, stay united, and trust the process.

Yours militantly,
P-MUS of NARD

Clinicians can enhance patient understanding by using numerical data instead of verbal probabilities, consistent denominators, absolute risk comparisons, and clear context for unfamiliar data types.
