The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
The Federal Government has moved to avert the planned strike by the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria by halting their placement on the Consolidated University Academic Salary Structure from the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure.
The development followed a directive by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, to the National Salaries Income and Wages, which was complied with on Saturday. The medical consultants had threatened to withdraw their services with effect from Monday over the issue. This is coming as the two-week-old industrial action embarked upon by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors has led to the shutdown of hospitals across the country.
The MDCAN comprised senior doctors, who are medical consultants that teach and guide the resident doctors in their professional operation towards becoming specialists and consultants in their area of specialization.
