Doctors, nurses and Community Health Extension Workers under the Expanded Midwives Service Scheme has criticized the National Primary Health Care Development Agency and Sydani Group over alleged four-month unpaid salary arrears.<\/p>\n
The eMSS was instituted by the Federal Government through the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency as part of efforts to improve maternal and child health in the country.<\/p>\n
Sydani Group, however, offers technical support to NPHCDA.<\/p>\n
Speaking with our correspondent, Dr Nafisa Muhammad, who works at the Primary Health Care Centre in Dije Bala and Madalla, Niger State, said she resigned from her former place of work to take up the new employment with eMSS but has not been paid for four months.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the appointment letter, it stated that our appointment was to take effect from July 1st, 2023 to July 1st, 2024, and we were asked to resign from our previous place of work to take up the new appointment which we all did.<\/p>\n
\u201cFew days to the end of June, we were sent a message to hold on with resuming work till further notice, meanwhile, we had resigned from our previous work place. We were later sent a message to assume duty on August 1st, which we did. It\u2019s been four months now, and we have not received any form of payment from them, it has been one excuse or the other, and it is exhausting.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of us were posted to a place far from our residential areas, we spend nothing less than N4,000 for transportation daily. This is really hard on us considering the economic crisis in the country, this has made most of us to resort into loans and other means of survival,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
