The NARD president said his efforts to see the Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, over the matter had been abortive.
He added, “I’ve gone there several times, I’ve been blocked. I’ve not been able to see the Permanent Secretary, Special Duties, in the ministry; the only person I know I have been able to speak to is the director of cash management in that ministry. This is a low level of engagement and I wouldn’t say there is progress because they may come up tomorrow and deny that they are not aware of anything.
“The money is there; it’s been budgeted for, but it’s remaining for it to be released for payment. If it was not budgeted, we will blame the authorities responsible for the budgeting.“We have written to the Ministry of Finance; it took them almost three weeks before the letter got to the table of the minister; we wrote them before the communiqué and ultimatum.
The association’s demands include the payment of the newly reviewed Medical Residency Training Fund; and the immediate implementation and payment of the new hazard allowance and arrears, among others. When contacted on the telephone, the Director of Press/Information, Federal Ministry of Finance, Mrs Phil Abiamuwe-Mowete, requested that a text message be sent to her on the matter. She had yet to respond to the text message sent to her as of the time of filing this report.All rights reserved.

I guess we have to down tools again as that's the only language they seem to understand
Doctors & nurses and other caregivers who are on the front line have always been undervalued and underpay. Hazard allowance has been N5000 since I know my left from right. Yet some parliamentarians go home with N13.5m monthly just for sleeping in the hallow chamber of NASS.
But they are looking for who to pay money to.. Niger republic N1.14bn Pakistan $1m Consultants $418bn Who has cursed this leaders?
