The Medical and Dental Council Disciplinary Tribunal is the organ responsible for trying and sanctioning of erring medical and dental practitioners within the country. According to the Registrar (Dr. Tajudeen Sanusi), there are over seventy cases pending at the tribunal. A situation where less than ten cases are concluded within a year is an indication that the wheel of justice is extremely slow at the tribunal, but can be made more impactful if the number of sittings could be increased.

This was part of the resolutions of a meeting of JUSUN National Working Committee (NWC) held in Abuja after the conciliation meeting with the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, and other stakeholders.
