Minister Labour, Dr Chris Ngige
SHARE
Minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige has appealed to members of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) to reconsider their decision to embark on strike.

NMA and JOHESU have threatened to embark on strike if Federal Government fails to meet their demands.

However, On September 8, the federal government said it had reached an agreement with JOHESU.

According to a statement by Charles Akpan, deputy director of press and public relations, ministry of labour, Ngige was said to have appealed to the health bodies while speaking on Wednesday, at a meeting of the presidential committee on salaries with the leadership of NMA and its affiliates

He said: “If we do so, it is to your own advantage because it has to be captured in the 2022 budget. Government will also look at its purse and if there is money, the President will sign and it will be a win-win situation for all of us,”

“Last week, we discussed with JOHESU. We had a fruitful discussion. It is in that spirit that I am asking you that this should be fruitful, so that we can rest the issue of paying N5,000 hazard allowance.

”In 2020, it was not you who informed government. It was by our own volition that we invited both sides to the meeting where we handed over special COVID allowances to medical, dental workers and other allied health workers and we did it seamlessly.

‘I don’t know whether it was because of the fear of COVID that you worked together. Today, the divide is there. Having read the altercation between you and JOHESU, which is in the media, we can’t believe that both of you are managing one patient.
