JOHESU DEMANDS

a) Approval and Circularization of adjusted CONHESS Salary Structure, having done same for NMA members.

b) Payment of backlog of arrears as a result of COHESS 10 Skipping.

c) Employment of more staff to strengthen the health sector.

d) Release of Circular for reviewed retirement age from 60 to 65 years.

e) Implementation of NICN judgments in favour of JOHESU members.

One will quickly ask the question,
why would any of these demands hurt and deprive any other health care professionals, particularly the Nigerian Medical Association of anything, that will warrant them to threaten the Government.

Again, Nigerians want to know if the Nigerian Medical Association is the *FOURTH ARM* of Government, after the Executive, Judiciary and Legislative arms.

Nigerians may wish to know too, if NMA is the employer of Labour for the government?

If NMA has also taken over or been contracted to function as the National Council on Establishment that they can review schemes of services of other professionals?

Ok, NMA had made themselves to function as the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission for Nigeria and Nigerians.

For JOHESU demands (a) and (b) NMA members had received N1.5b from the government. JOHESU never protested or winked.

For (c) is in line with the adopted and gazetted 1981 report of Mr. Gamaliel Onosode to the government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari.

When categorizing Agencies and parastatals, the Committee headed by Mr. Gamelial Onosode in 1981 recommended that the Teaching Hospitals functions as Academic Institutions, hence both staff of Teaching Hospitals and Universities should enjoy the ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CONDITIONS OF SERVICE.
The Universities had been granted that condition of 70years for professors and 65years for all other staff.
Where had JOHESU gone wrong?.

d) Ok, probably the employment of more staff to replace the elderly and retiring staff will hurt and deprive NMA members.

e) the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) had given judgments in favour of JOHESU:

I) that no profession has the right to lord itself over another profession.

2) that Medical Laboratory Services should exist as distinct Department in the Hospitals.

How will these judgements infringe on the fundamental rights and privileges of the Medical Doctors?

Nigerians should see and decide accordingly.

JOHES4U WILL USE EVERY MEANS LEGALLY POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS FOR NIGERIAN HEALTH SECTOR.
