Hi everyone, I’m Marvellous, some of you know me as Ini. I’m a few months from finishing my MPH at NYU. I planned for this year with a student loan and a summer internship but it didn’t come through. Then this month, MPOWER shut down. I was on their waitlist. #FundDrMarvellous

UPDATE ON THE FIVE-YEAR REQUIREMENT FOR CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING Dear Colleagues, On the issue of the reported five-year requirement for the issuance of a Certificate of Good Standing, I have engaged the relevant authorities as promised and obtained some clarification as follows: Prescribed Requirement: The requirement is two years after full registration, with the period of NYSC included in the two years. Therefore, the reported five-year requirement is not what has been prescribed. Colleagues Affected: Any colleague who has encountered a five-year requirement on their portal is requested to confirm this and reach out immediately so that the matter can be properly addressed. Further Engagement: We understand that the decision was taken by the Council. We intend to engage the Council further during our courtesy visit to obtain additional clarification and address any concerns from colleagues who are uncomfortable with the current position. We remain committed to constructive engagement with the relevant authorities to ensure clarity, fairness, and the protection of the interests of all our members. Thank you. @mohagirei @nard_nigeria @nationalnma Ogar Emmanuel Idoko President, Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD)
