The Federal Government, has given National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), the condition to call off the industrial action which has paralyzed activities in government-owned hospitals nationwide and return to their duty post as a prerequisite to withdraw the case it instituted against them.<\/p>\n

This is even as it reiterated that it\u2019s stance on \u2018no work, no pay\u2019 policy remains in line with global practice as captured in Section 43 of the Trade Dispute Act under the International Labour Organization (ILO).<\/p>\n

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, stated this at the weekend after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari who reviewed the nation\u2019s health system.<\/p>\n

Briefing State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Ngige explained that the 12-points demand of the members of NARD<\/a>, have been met adding however, that the government follow the global standard<\/p>\n

Speaking on his meeting with a president Buhari, Ngige said, \u201cIn the main, I discussed the state of the healthcare system industrial disputes with Mr. President. As you well know, the resident doctors are still on strike, their strike has now entered the 33rd day today. Meanwhile, government is doing everything possible to make sure they get back to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of their 12-point issues raised in their demands, we have done all, we have come to agreements on all, including those that even affect the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria and medical doctors who are in academics and teaching universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we have handled all, the only point of disagreement now is that they said that the agreements and the memorandum of action, government should inserts, include that Section 43 of the Trade Dispute Act will not apply to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat section says that when a worker withdraws his services from his employer, the employer is at liberty to withhold payment of emoluments to him and the ILO principles at work and strike said you can use that money to pay other people you have engaged in that particular period of strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you have a right to strike, but your employer has also the right to withhold your emolument. More importantly, in other climes, before unions go on strike, by that principle, they discuss with their workers and bring out what they call strike funds and it\u2019s from that strike funds that the union will use to pay the workers have gone on strike. They will also agree on the number of days the strike will last.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why overseas and in other climes, you don\u2019t see strikes getting more than three days or four days or five days, highest and more importantly again, people on essential services, medical services, in particular, where you can lose live, they don\u2019t go on strike any anyhow. They only do picketing and things like that, because people\u2019s lives are involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the \u2018no work, no pay\u2019 rule on some unions that embarked on strike, the minister said: \u201cSo, this is where we are with them and we are saying that even if anybody cares to put it in any agreement, that clause will be void ab initio because it\u2019s against the law of the land and we will not, as a government, succumb to undue arm twisting and then go and sign that. Other workers have lost their pay during strikes; the Joint Health Systems Union JOHESU), they lost their pay in 2018 when they went on four months strike, they lost about two or three months pay when the no-work, no-pay was invoked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcademic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), no-work, no-pay applied to them. Nobody paid them anything for six months and it was during COVID-19. So, we can handle things administratively, but nobody should arm-twist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI briefed Mr. President and we\u2019ve agreed that they should come back to work and if they come back to work, we can take other things from there; we\u2019ll drop the case in court and then they will come back and get things done.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, in conjunction with the Office of the Head of Service, had a meeting and they are jointly going to do a circular that will be issued for Salaries, Incomes and Wages to reiterate that the House Officers and Youth Corps doctors are still on CONMES scale, one and two respectively. So, I think we are doing the implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, from the monitoring meeting we did this morning, Ministry of Health has gotten the list of doctors who supposedly are to benefit from the Medica Residency Training Fund. Total submission of about 8000 names were gotten and the Ministry of Health is scrutinising them, we have done the first round or scrutinization and they will now compare what they have with the Post-Graduate Medical College and the Chief Medical Directors who submitted the names.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Association of Resident Doctors, in each of the tertiary centres, worked with the CMDs to produce those names, but now that the names are being verified, we discovered that about 2000 names shouldn\u2019t be there because they don\u2019t have what is called Postgraduate Reference Numbers of National Postgraduate Medical College and (or) that of the West African Postgraduate Medical College.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, this is it and that is the only thing holding back the Residency Fund payment because it is there already for\u2026 incurred expenditure has been done by the Finance Minister and an it\u2019s in the Accountant-General\u2019s office. So, once the verify they authenticity of those they are submitting, the Accountant-General will pay.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doing that verification because we do not want what happened last time in 2020 to reoccur; in 2020 the submitted names didn\u2019t come through the appropriate source, which is the Postgraduate Medical College and payment was affected and it was discovered that about 588 persons, who were not resident doctors benefited from such money and they are now finding it difficult to make the full refund, but they have to refund that money. Some are refunding, but there is no full consideration of the account. That account has to be reconciled to enable the accountants pay the next round of funding for 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I briefed Mr. President on and we also discussed some policies, which is not for public consumption now. We take it in its stride as the days come by, but we discuss politics, the state of our party, nationally and in my.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
