The striking healthcare workers in Ekiti State have rejected the government’s offer to pay N5,000 monthly hazard allowance while working out modalities to address their other demands.and that of the state’s chapter of the Joint Associations and Unions of Ekiti State Healthcare Workers confirmed this development to PREMIUM TIMES on the phone.
According to Mr Adeniyi, a meeting with the doctors on the same day had been attended by the state’s secretary to the government, head of service, commissioner for health, permanent secretaries in charge of ministries of establishments, finance and health, among other critical stakeholders. He said the government’s team, which was led by the SSG, had offered to pay the statutory N5,000 monthly hazard allowance.
He added that the government promised that all other requests “would receive necessary attention as soon as the financial status of the state gets better.” “But the crux of the matter as we have continued to reiterate is the ‘skipping’ which simply refers to the domestication of the entry level grade policy for medical doctors as contained in a federal government of 2014. Our colleagues at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital , which is owned by the same government, have been benefiting from this. Also at the Federal Medical Centre, Ido-Osi, it is the same.
She added that meetings had been held to address the issue and appealed to the striking workers to consider the offer placed before them in the interest of the masses.
