Resident Doctors Reject Pastor Oyemade’s Claim on ₦500,000 Medical Training Cost
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has refuted claims by Pastor Poju Oyemade that doctors in Nigeria are trained with just ₦500,000, calling the statement misleading and detached from reality.
Oyemade, in a viral sermon, compared Nigerian-trained doctors to their U.S. counterparts, suggesting Nigerians are ungrateful despite receiving subsidized education. NARD, in a statement on Monday, criticized the comments, highlighting the significant costs and challenges medical students face in Nigeria’s underfunded healthcare system.
