The Nigerian government has
commenced the implementation of “no work, no pay” against striking doctors.
Director of Hospital Services,
Federal Ministry of Health, Dr. Adebimpe Adebiyi, made the announcement in a
statement.
Adebiyi urged Chief Medical
Directors and Managing Directors of federal tertiary health institutions to
comply.
They must identify doctors
staying off work and any health worker that may join the industrial action
subsequently.
They are expected to compute and
forward the financial implications to the ministry.
Adebiyi disclosed that the
ministry received a letter Labour Minister, Chris Ngige, informing Minister
Osagie Ehanire of the laws governing the National Association of Resident
Doctors (NARD) strike.
The memo directed immediate
application of provisions of section 43 (1) (a) of the Trade Union Act on
special provisions with respect to payment of salaries during strikes and
lockouts.
The affected workers will not get
payment effective Monday August 2 when the strike commenced.
