In an ultimatum sent to the Federal Government, the Minister of Labor and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, called the demands of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors ludicrous.
Ngige claimed that because the government has given doctors everything they’ve asked for, their entitlement mentality is “too much.”
The Federal Government was given two weeks by NARD on Saturday to comply with its demands or risk industrial unrest.
The Consolidated Medical Salary Structure must be immediately increased by 200 percent of the existing gross physician salary, according to the doctors.
