NAMDA Sets Three-Week Deadline for FG to Meet Demands
The Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) has issued a three-week extension to the Federal Government to finalize negotiations regarding its outstanding demands. This decision was made during an Emergency National Executive Council (E-NEC) meeting held in Uyo, with the communiqué endorsed by President Dr Nosa Lancy Orhue and Acting Secretary-General Prof. Aniekan Peter.
The deadline for the government to address these issues is set for August 31, 2026. Should the government fail to meet this deadline, NAMDA plans to declare a three-day warning strike.
The association has mandated its branches to engage members through congresses and sensitization programs, reporting on their preparedness for potential strike action. NAMDA criticized the government's alleged reluctance to conclude negotiations and emphasized the need for prioritizing medical education and training amidst a shortage of medical professionals in Nigeria.
The association also acknowledged the support from the Directorate of State Services (DSS) during the negotiations.
