The Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, will lead the committee set up by the Federal Government to help resolve crisis in the health sector.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, September 14, 2016.
Other members of the the Federal Government negotiating team, included Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole and Minister of State for Health, Dr O. Ehanire.
The other were, Chairman ot the National Income, Salaries and Wages Commission, Chief Richard Egbule and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment Dr. Clement Iloh.
Ngige also sets up two committees to look into the circular on salary adjustments and the payment of the consolidated health salary structure skipping arrears.
“There was an overriding need for social dialogue for industrial peace, one committee is to look into the issue of JOHESU demands to enable them get reasonable wages.
“The other committee is to look at the skipping because members of the Health sector Unions, Nurses and Midwives Association and Laboratory Association want to stop a particular grade level,” he said.
Ngige said that since the Nigerian Medical Association has also made a joint position on skipping, there was need to harmonise the position of collective bargaining” bearing in mind the extant economic downturn in the country.”
