The Nigerian Institute Of Science Laboratory Technology (NISLT), has deplored the unending acrimony between its members, stressing that the disposition was inimical to the actualisation of the common goal of the profession, and significantly slowed down the pace of professionalisation. It has also expressed dismay at the rift between members of the NISLT, and members of the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN). For a while now, some dissatisfied members of the association have been at daggers drawn with the body over the latter’s alleged failure to address some of their concerns timeously. But in responding to this and other niggling challenges affecting the practice in the country, Gbadegesin stressed the need for aggrieved members to burry their hatchets and work together for the realisation of the common goal of the science laboratory technology profession. He also assured that the rift would be brought before stakeholders of the two bodies for a lasting solution, while NISLT members were advised to concentrate on other areas of science laboratory profession, rather than areas that have to do with clinical or medical profession.
