The secretary to the government of the federation,
Three arms zone, central area, abuja
Sir,
FIFTEEN (15) DAYS ULTIMATUM.
You could recall that JOHESU embarked on three days warning
strike from 20th to 22nd january 22014 to press home various
demands which have been lingering since 2009
In view of the inability of the honourable minister of health,
professor onyebuchi chukwu to meet our demands, the federal
government intervened through the office of the secretary to the
government of the federation. However, from january to september
2014, very little have been achieved as most agreements earlier
reached between federal government and JOHESU are not
implemented.medicalworldnigeria.com
We therefore, demand for immediate resolution of all matters
pending between JOHESU and federal government within the next
fifteen days i.e not later than 8th october 2014 or face an indefinite
strike action.
The contending issues among others are as follows:
1) Non promotion of our members from salary CONHESS 14 - 15 as
directors having stayed for 4 to 15 years on the same salary level
without promotion in most fedral tertiary hospitals.
2) Immediate release of circular on adjustment of salary as done for
NMA members since january 2014 and immediate payment of at
least two months arrears while the remaining are paid with 2015
budget.
3) Immediate release of the circular on extension of retirement age
to be back dated to february 2014 when the issue was presented to
National council on establishment.
4) Immediate and full payment of arrears of salaries of CONHESS
10 skipping outstanding since the year 2010.
5) Immediate amendment of the ciruclar on consultancy status as
pronounced by National court on 22nd july, 2013, and agreed to at
a meeting of 12th august 2014 with the federal
government.medicalworldnigeria.com
6) Payment of arrears of specialist allowance to qualified hospital
based professioanls with effect from 1st january 2010 in line with
national industrial court of nigeria ruling.
7) Immediate release of the harmonized scheme of service and
circular on internship for nurses and midwives.
Modification of medical laboratory scientist intern's circular to
include post NYSC placement and beyond.
9)Minimizing the lopsidedness in the membership of boards of
management of tertiary hospitals.
10) Implementation of the court judgement in favour of medical
laboratory scientist on separate department in the hospitals.
11) Need to define the functions and power of honourary consultants
in teaching hospitals and the need to appoint more hospital based
consultatnts instead of honourary
consultants.medicalworldnigeria.com
12) Need for residency program for other health professionals.
13) Issuance of guidelines on appointment of chariman, medical
advisory committee and the committee's composition.
14) Need for complete autonomy for the teaching hospitals by
removing university lecturers as head in some clinical departments.
15) Need to urgently set up a collective bargaining agreement
committee to look at the following allowances for JOHESU members
a. Headship allowance
b. Administrative allowance
c. professional allowance.
d. Excess work load allowance
e. Health and safety site allowance
f. responsibility allowance
g. reduction of the present excess taxation on health workers
salaries
h. restoration of working days as annual leave

It is our hope that governement would quickly accede to these
demands bearing in mind that JOHESU members have exercised
sufficient patience and maturity (for more than one year) over thier
demands.
Please accept our highest regards and assurances of our best
wishes

What exactly is their tax rate?

Let see what wil happen ooo, can't wait to see ooo

Yinmu...... like wah da F are they gon do after fifteen days?smh

Let us sit patiently and wait

You people are asking for too much.
Summarize to 5 items, then wait and see!

Dis medical workers sef, their own don dey too much o.! Imagine all those plenty demands......soon dem go demand d same pay package as GEJ. Make dem still get conscience na

Looking at dis demands...dis rats, would have d guts to call doctors insensitive

koxi: Dis medical doctors sef, their own don dey too much o.! Imagine all those plenty demands......soon dem go demand d same pay package as GEJ. Make dem still get conscience na

Dis people are not medical doctors, just some clown looking for attention

nawa dey no dey tired? www.nairaland.com/1926237/believes-lie-there-more-people#26734969

Always comparing themselves with doctors when even God himself knows that they are not equal and any attempt to make them so will be catastrophic.
There's nothing wrong with other health professionals wanting to be like doctors but when they want our authority, we show them their place.

It's the patients I pity in all this.

The doctors, the pharmacists, the nurses, the med lab scientists, etc are all selfish and self-centred. That of the doctors is worse.

God help our healthcare system and save it from total collapse.

You are soooo dumb! Chai

I don tire for this abeg

Another strike looming. seems Nigerian workers in the health sector find fun embarking on such #Crossfingers

koxi: Dis medical doctors sef, their own don dey too much o.! Imagine all those plenty demands......soon dem go demand d same pay package as GEJ. Make dem still get conscience na

Olodo raise to power 50.

Medical doctors = NMA

Butterflies calling themselves birds = JOHESU

1) Non promotion of our members from salary CONHESS 14 - 15 as directors having stayed for 4 to 15 years on the same salary level without promotion in most fedral tertiary hospitals.

Sometimes you've just gotta take sides with the striking workers. Why won't you get promoted for up to 10 years? That's wickedness...that's a mile from corruption.

Are they really Srious about dis

Yeye dey smell

..And the circle continues

sometimes i wonder why bizarre things are so normal in this country. there are better ways to solve this problem without going on strike. they're a disgrace to the profession, and they're even on oath to never abandon a patient and always deliver care. they don't even bother about the patients who would die but ironically they've sworn to serve humanity. i cover my head in shame of my dear country.

the government brought this over their head! how will a country's health sector be run without a bill? I just see this as a never-ending professional war because if the government answers johesu, nma will come up with another set of demands!
but johesu shud understand that they are not doctors, fine, everyone in the field has a crucial role but still, they cant all be treated equally... #just saying#

oge4real:




You are soooo dumb! Chai

Another housegal, chatting wit her madam's fone, rat like u.do u even kn d meaning of dumb

just passing

I blame the FG for allowing all sectors to form unionism and association of interest using it to hold the Nation at ransom tomorrow NMA will start theirs and we keep moving backward.

Me thinks government should give them 14 days ultimatum to remove this ultimatum are they should all be sacked and new nurses, midwives, pharmacists and security men employed.

This is becoming endemic abeg!

15 counts for going on strike, all selfish, none took into cognisance patients welfare.

another circle of madness

We are back to square one
