The Association of Resident Doctors, Kogi State Specialist Hospital, Lokoja, has called the attention of the state government to the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum given to it to meet its demands.
The ultimatum was to give room for dialogue and engagement with the state government.
In a statement by the President, Ameh Friday, the association is disappointed at the inertia that has greeted their requests, saying that a congress will be held in seven days to have an appraisal of the progress made so far and take a decision on all its demands.
The association is demanding upward review of CONMESS 2014 to CONMESS 2023, and approval of Medical Residency Training Fund, review of hazard allowance as released by the National Salary, Income and Wages Commission among others.
The doctoes had, on August 9, issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Kogi State Government to meet its demands or be ready for an indefinite strike action, after suspending its two-day industrial action directed by the National Association of Resident Doctors.
