Still, he praised the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare for organizing a stakeholders\u2019 meeting to address MRTF issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NEC observed with concern the persistent short-changing of our members over the past five years, as there have been no consequential adjustments to the CONMESS basic salary and allowances.<\/p>\n<p>This is a clear violation of the provisions of the 2009 collective bargaining agreement,\u201d Tope-Zenith stated.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged the Chief Medical Directors who have received full payment of the Accoutrement Allowance arrears and raised concerns about ongoing manpower shortages in hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>The NEC also recognized the positive efforts of Prof. John Okeniyi, Chief Medical Director of Obafemi Awolowo Teaching Hospital, in maintaining industrial peace.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the NEC commended FCT Minister Nyesom Wike for ensuring payment of all outstanding salaries, allowances, the disbursement of MRTF, and the employment of doctors in the FCT.<\/p>\n<p>However, due to poor remuneration, the NEC expressed concern over the continuous loss of specialized medical professionals in privately-owned teaching hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>NARD urged the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria to expedite the payment of the 2025 MRTF and settle the outstanding 2023 and 2024 MRTF, along with the 2022 arrears, as agreed in the ministry\u2019s stakeholders\u2019 meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Tope-Zenith also demanded the federal government immediately pay the revised CONMESS arrears and other outstanding salary dues.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, he called for the full implementation of the consequential adjustments for the 2019 and 2024 minimum wage on doctors\u2019 basic salaries and allowances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors calls for the payment of two years&#8217; Medical Residency Training Funds and revised
