NARD Strike: Paying Doctors When They Are Not Working is Illegal - Ngige | Daily Report Nigeria
Minister Labour, Dr Chris Ngige
SHARE

Minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige has said it is illegal to pay doctors who aren’t at their duty posts.

On August 2, the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) embarked on strike over “irregular payment of salaries”, among other issues and yet to call it off.

This led to Federal Government withholding of  the Doctors’ August salary.

Ngige, while Speaking on Saturday when Sam Jaja, chairman of the Forum of Health Institutions in Nigeria (FCHIN), paid him a visit in Abuja, said “[The doctors want that] section 43 of the Trade Dispute Act should not apply to them. That we should insert in a government agreement that they should be paid for the period they are not at work. I’m being careful about this,”

“This is law and I will not lend myself to illegality, to state in the agreement that a group of Nigerians are above the law. But as a matter of fact, a clause in that agreement states clearly that nobody should be punished for participating or not participating in the strike.

“So what else do they want? They want me to put in writing that they are above the law. That “no work, no pay” policy should not apply to them. That the “no work, no pay” is no more part of our law, despite the fact that I swore to uphold the constitution?

“This is notwithstanding that a clause in the agreement says that no one should be punished for any role in the strike.”
