Mali Prime Minister dismissed after criticising military rule
Choguel Kokalla Maïga, Prime Minister of Mali, has been dismissed following his criticism of the military rulers.
The development was announced on Wednesday by the Secretary General of the presidential office, Alfousseyni Diawara.
He declared that “the duties of the prime minister and the members of the government are terminated.”
It was gathered that the move came a few days after Maïga’s remarks at a rally in Bamako, when he accused the junta of unilaterally and indefinitely postponing the transition process that was initially scheduled to begin on March 26.
Maïga also expressed frustration over the lack of debate on the issue, claiming he has been left to rely on media reports for updates.
While military leader Assimi Goïta had previously promised elections would be held in February, those plans have since been delayed “for technical reasons” with no new timeline provided.
Goïta was among the rebels to overthrow the government in 2020 and then became interim president after another coup in 2021.
He then announced a 24-month transition timetable starting in March 2022 to return Mali to civilian rule.
The government has yet to announce who will replace Maïga as prime minister.

15,000 doctors exit Nigeria because of poor pay — NMA
The chairman of the Kano State branch of the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, Abdurrahman Ali, says about 15, 000 medical doctors have exited Nigeria as of 2024 due to poor remuneration.
Abdurrahman made this revelation during a media conference while reflecting on issues confronting doctors in the state.
Addressing the press to mark this year’s physician’s week with the theme ‘Ensuring Universal Applicability in Remuneration: a Panacea to Talent Retention in the Healthcare System’, he insisted that doctors deserve fair remuneration and recognition of their value.
“Fair remuneration is more than just a salary figure; it is recognition of our value. A motivator for excellence and a safeguard against burnout in any industry, particularly in health care. Adequate compensation reflects the time, emotional energy and personal commitment healthcare professionals invest.
“When a healthcare worker is fairly and equitably respected, it, in turn, fuels their dedication, strengthens their commitment to patient care, and fortifies the larger health ecosystem,” Abdurrahman said.
He urged the Kano State government to come through with the agreement signed with the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, on the revised hazard allowance for health workers.
