Adewole must see himself as minister of health not of doctors nlc president

A clever play on words!

Adewole is a Nigerian physician and academic who served as the Minister of Health from 2015 to 2019. The phrase "must see himself as Minister of Health not of doctors" is a clever way of saying that he should focus on his role as a minister, rather than being overly identified with his profession as a doctor.

The phrase "not of doctors" is a clever substitution for "not of NLC president", which is a reference to the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), a trade union that represents workers in Nigeria. The NLC president is the leader of the union, and it's unlikely that Adewole would be the president of the NLC, given his background as a medical professional and government minister.

So, in essence, the phrase is encouraging Adewole to focus on his role as a minister of health, rather than being overly identified with his profession as a doctor or getting distracted by other roles, such as leading a trade union.
