Social & Welfare Secretary

The next few years will be crucial in the development of MANSAG. We have therefore set some short term priorities. Having captured people’s expectations of MANSAG by a recent electronic survey, we must now ensure that the association maintains base with all its constituencies – specialists, GPs, trainees and undergraduate medical students of Nigerian origins. Many doctors outside the UK aspire to work or train here whilst many more in Nigeria could do with further specialist training in Nigeria by the many specialties represented within MANSAG. Informed by this wide notion of our areas of potential influence we will embark on a massive membership drive aimed at doubling our numbers in 12-24months. However we need to convince more people of the relevance of MANSAG to their professional and social dreams. We will encourage “grassroots” membership through more zonal chapters. Our laser beam has identified focal areas of high potential membership activity as follows: Newcastle, Trent and Humber, London, Plymouth, and Norfolk to name a few.
