FG Begins Payment Of Doctors Arrears by Pakute(op): 3:41pm On Apr 14

Payment of long-awaited arrears arising from the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure review has commenced for members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors.

The NARD’s Publicity and Social Secretary, Dr Abdulmajid Ibrahim, confirmed this in a letter to all members, sighted by our correspondent, adding that the arrears, covering between one and six months for some members, were already being disbursed.

Many doctors were also said to confirm receipt of the arrears.

“The leadership of NARD… is pleased to inform all members that payment of the outstanding 25/35 CONMESS review arrears… has commenced,” the statement said.

Ibrahim reassured members yet to be credited that payments would be completed in due course, urging patience.

He disclosed that the August component of the arrears was encountering minor administrative challenges, which could delay payments by up to two weeks.

“Payments for August are currently facing a few challenges that are being addressed… the August arrears may be delayed by about a week or two,” he added.

The CONMESS review, which adjusts salary scales for medical and dental officers in Nigeria’s public sector, has been a recurring source of tension between doctors and the government.

Delays in implementing salary adjustments and settling arrears have, in the past, triggered industrial actions by NARD, disrupting healthcare services across federal and state hospitals.

Resident doctors, who form the backbone of Nigeria’s tertiary healthcare system, have repeatedly raised concerns over welfare issues, including unpaid salaries, hazardous working conditions, and brain drain driven by better remuneration abroad.

According to industry estimates, Nigeria has lost thousands of doctors to migration in recent years, worsening doctor-to-patient ratios and straining an already fragile health system.

The latest development signals progress in ongoing efforts by the government to address welfare concerns and avert potential labour unrest.

Ibrahim said members with unresolved payment issues after the disbursement period should channel complaints through their respective centre leadership for prompt resolution.

“We sincerely appreciate your patience, resilience, and continued trust… Be assured that we remain steadfast and committed to the welfare and well-being of all NARD members,” he said.

If Tinubu like, make him pay street destitutes, Nigerians will not be fooled. Transactional governance will be stopped, and this man and his fellow kakistocrats will be removed from power and face legal prosecution.

Under a certain Presidential candidate, Doctors in his state went on strike for 13months over unpaid salaries and poor working conditions. Today, he's being packaged as a Messiah.

God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, God bless Nigerian Doctors and God bless Nigeria.

Nigerians living below poverty line..how much is he even paying resident doctors, compare the amount with what resident doctors earn in South Africa, doctors in Nigeria are just doing slave labour. At $1 dollar for 1400 Naira, the so called payment is totally worthless. Tinubu must Go.

Even if you say Obi is not good enough or qualified, it doesn't change the fact that Tinubu is the greatest error that needs to be replaced urgently.
In an emergency like this, it doesn't matter who comes to arrest the situation there after we can consider how best to move forward.
A president that has borrowed more than 3 of his predecessors put together even when he is no longer paying subsidy is a fraud. No day passes that we don't lose senior army officers to insurgents.
A president that disconnects the seat of power from the national grid to install solar panels is not committed to provide stable power, is he?
We need to chase the fox away before coming to carry carcass of the chicken .

Tinubu gets sense, and petrol is 1500 naira?. How many new jobs has his government created so far?. How much was our debt before May 27, 2026?. From all indications, your senses need to be checked.

These are incorrect. Importing rice from Asia, which depletes your foreign reserves and destroys local agriculture and farmers, is a terrible economic policy. The only gain is fooling people like you into believing that Eldorado is here. Nigeria's inflation rate is still between 22 and 25 percent, despite Wale Edun's lies about it being 15.5 percent. This is still an indicator of an economy in dire straits.

ASUU, can I laugh?. That crime syndicate is being threatened and pacified with bribes so that they don't cause any trouble. You have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. Collect your 30k in peace and make the most out of your half-education.
