The Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics has issued the Federal Government a three-week extension to conclude negotiations over its outstanding demands.
The association, in a communiqué issued to newsmen in Uyo on Friday, threatened that failure by the government to conclude the negotiations within the period ending on August 31, 2026, would result in the declaration of a strike.
According to the communiqué, which was endorsed by the President, Dr Nosa Lancy Orhue, and the Acting Secretary-General, Prof. Aniekan Peter, the three-week extension was adopted at the end of the association’s Emergency National Executive Council (E-NEC) meeting.
It read, “A three-week timeline extension was adopted for a possible further consideration. E-NEC further resolved that the extension period should be utilised by government to resolve all outstanding issues.
“Failure to achieve meaningful resolution at the expiration of the period ending on the 31st of August 2026 shall result in the declaration of a three-day warning strike to be announced by NOC,” the communiqué read in part.
