His Excellency, 
Sen. Anyim pius Anyim
Secretary to the government of the federation,
Aguda House, Abuja
 
Your Excellency,
Inclusive Labour Relations - Essential for Public Health care Delivery
 
We bring you good tidings and continue to wish your excellency the vvery best as you tackle various challenges in the task of nation building. Recent developments, with regards to the health sector, compel us to reach out to you again, as they pose a danger to the necessary stability for qualifity public health care delivery. www.medicalworldnigeria.com
 
The Joint health sector unions have continued to observe and appraise governments negotiations with the striking doctors under the aegis of the NMA. Ordinaritly, in line with existing labour laws, the NMA, a professional association of doctors is certainly not a legitimate platform to negotiate conditions of service of its members. We have on numerous occasions drawn the attention of the federal government to this reality in addition to a court judgement on same by the national industrial court of nigeria, enugu, unfortunatley though, Governments continued negotiations with NMA has confirmed that the government has found it convenient to sacrifce the interet of other health professionals and the rule of law yet again to favour the NMA.
 
While the government gives the impression on one hand to JOHESU that some of our demands have been referred to the yayale ahmed presidential committee for mediation, government has actually gone ahead to accede to all the 24 comandments of the NMA, including issuing new circulars in june and july to ourtrightly jeopardize the MOU of june 5, 2014 as authenticated by our team and that of government.
 
Specifically, we put on record that government has outrightly compromised the welfare of our members and the promotion of harmonoius industrial relations and peace in the health sector in the reflected areas:
1) That appointments into the position of deputy chairman - Medical advisory committe (DCMAC) will continue. This is despite the fact that the enabling act setting up teaching hospitals in Nigeia has no provision for this position, making such appointment outrightly illegal.
 
2) Government has agreed with NMA that health workers will no longer be allowed to get to the apex of their careers in the public service as provided for in their schemes of service to satisfy the ego trip of nigeria doctors.
 
3) An approval of the skipping of CONMESS 3 by doctors amounts to a violation in the relativity of the CONHESS and CONMESS Scales. This relativity should remain sacrosant in the spirit of the 2009 collective barganing agrement. www.medicalworldnigeria.com
 
4) Tragically, and in what is certainly a climax of the absurd, government has again traded away the rights of all health workers, other than doctors, to be designated consultants in their areas of competence through a new circular that now provides unholy clauses that read inter alia "the designation of consultants should only be used for personnel with qualifications registrable with the medical and dental council of nigeria" MH/PM 138/Vol.111/83 18th july 2014. It is ridiculous that consultancy status approved for health care providers will be at the whims and caprices of MDCN, an agency that regulates only doctors.
 
5) Government contunues to dilly dally on the payment of arrears of our members, following approval of adjustments on the CONHESS Scale as approved since jan 2014, while it has now come with specific action plan for payment of doctors
 
6) The distateful withdrawal of the CBN circular on the importation of invitro diagnostic, on the prompting of NMA, gives the impression that government will never stop treating the welfare of other healthworkers with disdain as NMA and its members continue to enjoy a free reign in dictating the latitudes and dimensions the interest of its members can be regulated in the health sector.
 
7) Government policy now compels a formal training at the expense of the federal government, exclusimedicalworldnigeria.comvely for resident doctors in a multidisciplinary sector, where a plethora of care providers are burdened with training and manpower development at their own costs.
 
Attempts by government to formally restrict appointments of CMD/CMACs to only doctors while deceiving the joing healht sector unions that the matter had been refered to the yayale ahmed presidential panel for mediation
 
Your Excellency, the joint health sector unions has treated you and your estemm office with profound respect, but what we have received in return is obvious contempt, ridicle and delibrate design to perpetually treat or regard members of joint health sector unions as a second class rated professional and citizen in the health sector simply because we have remained law abiding. Today our members who constitute over 95 percent of the workforce in the health sector deride us, as their representatives who only sign worthless MOUs while NMA which has no respect for the rule of law, is the sacred cow handled with kid gloves. Your excellency, it is an irony that this administrations celebrated rule of law mantra, does not hold sway in our sector.
 
The Joint Health sector union continues to be civil and .....
 
it is thus strange that while the federal government of nigeria disregards the legal and legitimate collective agreements reached with bona fide unions under the joint health sector unions platform, it upholds the dictates of a singular professional association, up to and including jettisoning positions secured through bargaing and event the courts of the land, by JOHESU medical worldnigeria.com
 
It is not too late for the righ steps to be taken to ensure justice, peace and stability in the health sector. And we urge you to use your kind office to effect this without delay
Thus, your Excellency, if government does not immediately redress the palpable injustice we have drawn your atention to by issuing approrpriate circulars in the next two weeks, then government leaves us with no choice than to review our suspended strike of january 2014, after the expiration of our ultimatum
 
Thank you your excellency. medicalworldnigeria.com

Abeg let them go, world no go end, if they re really 95% (importance/relevance n contribution wise, not populationwise) the whole country won't be feeling the absence of the striking 5%
Let the people judge

And let us see how the the so called competent 5% geniuses have improved our health index lagging behind Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia and so on.

@OP. You either did not read that letter or you have some comprehension issues.
I advice you drop that ill attitude of yours and be objective for once. It won't kill you. Just give it a try.

After all the babbling ,so joihessu will still come back and tell Nigerians that they will go on strike, tot strike is only for the wicked people

Even with the Ebola threat,you people are still fighting.

Why then is NMA still on strike.... It doesn't add up. Even though I don't see a win win situation, I hope it is all settled soon.

NMA shouldn't also be happy even if this is true because we don't have a truthful government.
