Medical Doctors give Federal Government Three Weeks Timeline to Conclude Negotiation

Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics, NAMDA said it has resolved to extend the 21-day-warning strike ultimatum earlier issued to the Federal Government for negotiations, to three weeks, giving room for discussions and favourable compromise. 

This was contained in a communique endorsed by the president of NAMDA, Dr. Nosa Lancy Orhue and the Acting Secretary General, Prof Aniekan Peter, at the end of the association’s Emergency National Executive Council,  E-NEC, and issued to journalists in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Friday.

The doctors urged the Federal Government to utilize the three weeks extension window to resolve all outstanding issues, warning that failure to achieve a meaningful resolution at the expiration of the period by August 31, 2026, will result in the declaration of a three-day warning strike.
