MLSCN kicks Off E-licensing, Presents Policy Agenda
The Acting Registrar/CEO, Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN), Mr Tosan Erhabor, has called on stakeholders of the profession to help the Council in achieving its mandate.
He made this call at the third stakeholders meeting – the first since he took over the mantle of leadership of the Council after the murder of late Acting Registrar/CEO Mrs Olufunmilayo F. Omotuyi.
While addressing the August gathering, he informed them that the meeting was called to present the protocol for inspection of medical laboratories in Nigeria as resolved during the stakeholders meeting in May 2016. It was also to present the tripod of his change administration, which he said is “a policy strategy for implementation hinged on tripartite agenda of Registration, Regulation, and Accreditation driven by 15 measurable cardinal points.”
Erhabor told the gathering that his administration has already kick started its bottom-up approach in order to deviate from the norms which has given the Council a bad name in the past and key into the change mantra of the administration of President Muhammudu Buhari by kicking off the e-licensing for members in collaboration with IHRIS with effect from 1st August 2016. With this according to him “members in good standing can now print their 2016 license in the comfort of their homes and offices” the procedure he said has been hoisted on the Council website: www.mlscn.gov.ng This he observed “will go a long way in removing the bottleneck experienced by members in their quest to obtain their annual license to practic”.
He intimated the house that a workshop aimed at re-orientating the staff on the change sweeping across the Council had earlier been organised to make sure they key into this mantra and have attitudinal change towards their job so as to render “qualitative service to the members of the Council, its publics and stakeholders”.
He thanked the elders for their support during the trying period of the council which he tagged “the dark days, a period that will always bring bad memories in the history of the Council”. He regretted the unfortunate incident by lamenting: “if not the evil murderer she would have been in her home savoring her terminal leave in the midst of family and friends and I will still be sitting here as the Acting Registrar/CEO being the most senior officer in the Council”, he said and prayed for the repose of her soul.
He therefore asserted his management’s commitment in making sure the perpetrators of the dastardly act are brought to book by collaborating with the Security agents.
The former Chairman Board of Council Prof Dennis Agbonlahor, who chairman the meeting, lauded the new management under Mr Tosan Erhabor, for the peace in the Council since the inception of his administration after the death of Mrs Omotuyi, who he described as “a martyr of the profession”.
He promised that the elders of the Council will continue to support the management in its quest to achieve its mandate.
