“The insurance package also includes payment of N100,000 per day for 10 days to health workers who get infected with Covid-19.”
In a statement on Thursday in Kaduna and signed by Special Adviser to Gov. Nasir El-Rufai on Media and Communication, Mr Muyiwa Adekeye, the government said it rejects the strike threat and will not bend to blackmail.
According to the government, declaring strike action amidst the COVID-19 pandemic was naked blackmail and irresponsible. “Government will not be browbeaten by strike action into excluding health workers from the sacrifices being made by other public servants who are donating 25% of their salary to fund the provision of palliative.
According to the statement, donation to the COVID-19 fund is a show of solidarity that applies to everyone employed by the government, including health workers.
