The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has warned that it will ground medical services nationwide if the government fails to meet its demands, as the 21-day ultimatum it issued to the federal government draws to a close on the 23rd of July, 2025.
NMA President, Bala Audu, who confirmed this over the weekend, stressed that the association’s demands are critical to the survival of Nigeria’s healthcare system and the welfare of medical professionals across the country.
Recall that the medical association had issued an ultimatum in protest against a circular from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission on revised allowances for medical and dental officers in the federal public service, which the doctors kicked against for violating prior agreements.
