The Nigeria Union of Allied Health Professionals (NUAHP) has called on the federal government to immediately pay the seven-month arrears of the 2024 wage increase owed to its members.
The demand was made in a communique issued after a meeting by the National Executive Council (NEC) of NUAHP and the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU), held in Jos, Plateau State.
The communique, jointly signed by NUAHP National President Kamal Ibrahim and General Secretary Martin Egbanubi, expressed the union’s dissatisfaction with the delay in implementing the approved pay rise.
NUAHP represents a wide range of professionals in the health sector, including pharmacists, physiotherapists, medical laboratory scientists, imaging scientists, and dental technologists.
The union warned that the continued delay could lead to industrial action if the government fails to act swiftly.
