Resident doctors in Yobe State have threatened to embark on industrial action over the state government's failure to approve and implement some allowances.

Resident doctors in Yobe State have threatened to embark on industrial action over the state government's failure to approve and implement some allowances. The threat was issued following the Federal Government's approval, through the National Salaries, Income, and Wages Commission, of new hazard allowances and revised CONMESS and other allowances for medical doctors.

'We were told to be patient, but now many doctors can't even afford fuel for their cars to return home after long shifts,' one of them said. The chairman of the association, Dr Umar Ahmad Aliyu, confirmed the ongoing struggle for allowance implementation. 'Governor Mai Mala Buni has strengthened the healthcare system, but the unresolved issue of hazard allowances and reviewed CONMESS is causing significant distress,' he said.
