The NMA president, Prof. Bala Audu in press briefing had rejected a circular issued by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC) referenced SWC/S/04/S.218/III/646 and dated June 27, 2025 addressed the review of allowances for medical and dental officers in the federal public service.

They described the circular as a violation of existing collective bargaining agreements and a threat to industrial harmony in the health sector and issued a 21-day ultimatum for its withdrawal.

MDCAN in a statement issued to newsmen in Jos on Friday said they were in solidarity with the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and called for immediate correction of the consequential adjustments in line with the agreements of 2001, 2009, and 2014.

The statement which was jointly signed by the president, Prof. Mohammad Aminu and secretary, Prof. Daiyabu Alhaji, urged the commission to urgently withdraw the circular and demand urgent government action to address the pressing issues to avert a looming strike.
