The association said some arrears for 2014, 2015, and 2016 have remained unpaid despite several negotiations with the government.
The Nigerian Association of Residents Doctors has again threatened to commence a strike if the Nigerian government fails to meet its demands.
The doctors are demanding amongst other things, the immediate implementation, and payment of the new hazard allowance and arrears. The doctors also highlighted the failure of the government to clear salary arrears of members in state tertiary health institutions including Abia, Imo, Ondo, Ekiti, and Gombe States, and the non-domestication of the Medical Residency Training Act in most states across the federation.The doctors said although some of the demands have been addressed, many of them remain largely unresolved and have become sources of serious nationwide agitation.
