Abuja — The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige has warned the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to steer clear of negotiations between government and the striking Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU).
The Minister, who spoke in Abuja, noted that in trade unionism, such meddlesomeness arising from an unhealthy inter-union rivalry would adversely put pressure on social dialogue mechanism, clog the wheel of progress and retard the return of industrial harmony in the entire health sector.He admonished NMA to desist from further interference in any form in the on-going negotiation as well as stop issuing threats to the Federal Government as it is firmly resolved to achieve a lasting industrial peace in all sectors without prejudice to perceived group interests.
