…Is the state Governor aware of this development in the face of rerun election, following the declaration of Inconclusive result?…
Workers with the state hospitals and health related academic institutions in Adamawa state lamented that the state government has failed in the promise to migrate the salary structure of the medical and health workers to Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) with effect from the month of March, 2023.
Teeming number of Staff with the College of Nursing and Midwifery and staff with the state hospitals lamented that the “implementation of the CONHESS is rather selective. So many of our staff have not been migrated to CONHESS. We’re being paid with the usual salary scale and we’re afraid this will instigate rivalry in the state’s health industry. There’s no information as to the basis of the selective decision that is already boiling the ambers for a considered revolt to right the wrong before a new governor could get to be declared, whether continuity or fresh.
The Periscope Global Thursday, sent a message to the management of the College of Nursing to comment on the observed complaints; there was however no response as at the time of the press.
Similarly, workers with the primary healthcare and local government authority across the state have lamented that the N32,000 minimum wage seemingly partial implementation has been suspended.
The affected workers have earlier complained about the poor implementation of the minimum wage in which some of them have only had less than N2,000 as the salary increase, which they considered as more of a bonus than minimum wage.
“Some of us have lamented salary cuts last month. This month of March is the worst salary month for us. Almost all the staff with the local government authority have experienced salary cuts after having cast our votes. This is what can be referred to as a costly reciprocal,” They lamented.
The workers have called on the clergies and the clerics to, in the spirit of Ramadan, address by registering the challenges associated with the salary cuts before the state government for redress.
This medium tried without success to get the government’s response but none of the telephone lines was going through, text message was only returned by a media aide to the Governor that he was not aware of the development but that he would find out.
The findings by the media aide will indeed take another story.
