The Federal Government has approved the appointment of doctors, nurses and other clinical healthcare workers as contract staff after attaining their compulsory retirement age and years.
Permanent Secretary at the Service Policies and Strategies Office, Olufemi Oloruntoba, who spoke to newsmen, said the government appointed the contract staff to be on the same salary scale level that they retired.
He however appealed to government to engage The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria and The Nigerian Medical Association in order to extract some level of commitment from medical doctors in the country.
