After many years of professional deprivation and injustice, Medical Lab. Scientists(MLS) all over Nigeria heaved a big sigh of relief when soon after the inception of President Buhari’s administration, the Federal Government (FG), through the Head of Civil Service of the Federation(HOCSF) released the much awaited circular approving the implementation of Enhanced Entry Point(EEP) for all MLS. By that circular, the FG brought all Medical Lab Scientists in Nigeria out of more than five decades of professional emasculation, subjugation and unfair treatment compared to their sister health professionals.

On Saturday, 25^th April, 2015, at Cana House, Awka, AMLSN, ANAMBRA STATE branch elected new executive officers who will pilot the affairs of the professional body in the next three years.

Though marked by low voters turn out as only very few members of the association were financially up to date and hence eligible to vote or be voted for in the election, the election was a success.

After conducting a free, fair and credible election with his team, the Electoral Committee Chairman and Biomedical Scientist, Mr. Tony Ezechukwu  announced the following as the newly elected officers of the association:

AMLSN, ANAMBRA BRANCH TO ELECT NEW STATE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

AMLSN, Anambra branch will next Saturday, 25^th April, 2015 elect new executive officers who will steer the ship of the Anambra Branch of the Association in the next three years.

AMLSN, NAUTH wishes  AMLSN Anambra State a successful election.

The proper entry point for intern Medical Laboratory Scientists has been implemented in NAUTH.

We say, WELL DONE! To NAUTH management headed by the CMD, Prof. A.O. Igwegbe.
