The NMA made the call in a communiqu\u00e9 jointly signed by its Chairman, Dr Omakoji Oyiguh and Secretary, Dr Chimezie Udebuani on Tuesday in Lokoja.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe meeting observed that the salary of the medical doctors working with the Government of Kogi State was in percentage (69.97 per cent).<\/p>\n

\u201dThe NMA Kogi in a letter to Gov. Bello, dated March 7, drew the attention of the governor to non-invitation to participate in any negotiation and the expectation of NMA for payment of full salary for the month of February 2022.
\n\u201dThe NMA Kogi chapter, requests His Excellency, to note that it has been two years of peaceful and harmonious industrial relations in the medical sector.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe governor\u2019s handlers on the issue of the percentage salary should be cautioned against doing anything that will cause a breakdown of the much-cherished relationship already developed,\u201d the NMA said.\u201d<\/p>\n
