Following last minute approval of its request for payment of uniform allowance for its members by the governor of the state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the leadership of the state’s chapter of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives has rescinded its decision to down tools.
The union also identified many other challenges including stagnation of its members, acute shortage of workforce, high attrition rate and the need for retention allowance, retrospective approval and regularisation for nurses, among others.At a briefing held at its secretariat in Ikeja on Tuesday, the union expressed appreciation to the governor for the last-minute approval for the payment of the allowance.
“You would recall that the association issued a 21-day ultimatum over the payment of a statutory uniform allowance to the government which elapsed today. It is for us a litmus test to draw our final conclusions on the readiness and responsiveness of the Lagos State Government to the issues of nurses and the healthcare system. But the government has promised to pay the allowance with the September 2021 salary which is due in a few days.” he said.
This was part of the position of the union during its annual scientific conference to mark this year’s annual international nurses week.
