The earnings of the government have also drastically gone down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, they are going back to their people with the government offer and they asked for two weeks adjournment to enable them to conclude consultation with their members and report back to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ngige said they agreed that the offers should be left as they are until both parties go back for consultations with their members and return in two weeks\u2019 time for further negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we moved from the N5000 hazard allowance per month, which was long forgotten until COVID-19 struck. During COVID-19, the government spent about N31billion for three months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I think the government side has offered things that are very reasonable, increasing the former positions of junior and senior health workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The minister also said the federal government has agreed to increase the retirement age of doctors and other health workers from 60 to 65 years and 70 years for consultants.<\/p>\n<p>On April 1, members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) embarked on an indefinite strike to ask that the federal government meet their 10-point demands which include an upward review of the hazard allowance.<\/p>\n<p>The association later suspended its strike on April 10 after\u00a0signing of a new agreement with the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government has disclosed its intention to increase hazard allowance for all health workers in public health establishments in the country.
