The South-West Caucus of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has threatened to embark on an industrial action if the Federal Government fails to withdraw the recently introduced allowances for doctors, which they described as unfavorable and out of touch with current economic realities.
The caucus, which comprised Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ogun, and Ondo states, said this at a news conference in Osogbo on Tuesday.
Dr Adeniyi Fasanu, the Caucus Chairman, stated that the recent circular issued by the National Salary, Income and Wages Commission (NSIWC) concerning doctors’ (increased) allowances is not in tandem with economic reality.
