FG to Release N11.995bn Within 72 Hours for Payment of Arrears of Accoutrement Allowance, Others to Doctors, Others
The statement said the assurance was reiterated during a high-level meeting led by the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Ndume, between the top management of the ministry and the leadership of NARD, following the association’s recent agitations over welfare and professional concerns.
Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja
The federal government yesterday said it would release N11.995billion within 72 hours for the payment of outstanding arrears, including accoutrement allowance, to doctors and other health workers across the country.
This was contained in a press statement issued by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in Abuja and signed by the Deputy Director and Head, Information and Public Relations, Alaba Balogun.
According to the ministry, the move is part of ongoing efforts to resolve welfare concerns raised by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) and other unions.
The statement said the assurance was reiterated during a high-level meeting led by the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Salako, between the top management of the ministry and the leadership of NARD, following the association’s recent agitations over welfare and professional concerns.
The assurance comes amid a nationwide strike that began yesterday, involving about 11,000 resident doctors across 91 healthcare facilities.
The striking doctors are protesting unpaid arrears, delays in allowances, and other welfare-related issues despite earlier assurances from the government.
The President of the NARD, Dr. Muhammad Suleiman, had on Monday said the federal government owes doctors and other health workers across the country an estimated N38billion in accumulated allowances.
Meanwhile, the statement noted that the government remains committed to ensuring that the welfare, motivation, and stability of the nation’s health workforce serve as the foundation of all health policies and programmes.
“In collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare commenced the payment of seven months’ arrears of the 25–35 per cent upward review of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure and the Consolidated Health Salary Structure to all categories of health workers, with N10bn paid in August 2025.
“Following the approval of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for these arrears owed to health workers, including members of NARD, to be paid expeditiously, as of Thursday, October 30, another sum of N21.3bn has been moved to the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System account, and payment has commenced.
“In addition, the sum of N11.995bn is being processed for release within 72 hours to pay other arrears, including accoutrement allowance. All these payments are being enjoyed by members of NARD in accordance with the salary structure in the health sector. Additionally, the Federal Government has released N10.6bn as of September 2025 as full payment for the 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund, paid exclusively to resident doctors nationwide,” it stated.
To address the strain caused by brain drain and prolonged working hours, the ministry disclosed that the federal government had granted special waivers for the massive recruitment of healthcare professionals across federal tertiary institutions.
It stated that over 20,000 health workers, including doctors, nurses, and allied professionals, were recruited across 58 federal health institutions in 2024, while recruitment for 2025 is ongoing, with 15,000 health workers already approved for employment.
According to the statement, the recruitment drive is part of a broader strategy to ensure that Nigeria’s health facilities are adequately staffed, safe, and equipped to deliver quality care to citizens.
It confirmed that, “The collective bargaining discussions are ongoing with the Nigerian Medical Association, where NARD is an affiliate, the Joint Health Sector Unions, and the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives.
“To deepen dialogue and proffer solutions to controversial issues that arose in the course of the CBA, the ministry has engaged a professional negotiator who is a Professor of Industrial Relations, Prof. Dafe Otobo, to facilitate further constructive engagements between government and union leaders, with the active involvement of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.
“The negotiator has since met with all the unions individually. A joint meeting of the unions with the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, with the negotiator, has also taken place as of Thursday, October 24, 2025. All these are being done to facilitate decisions at the CBA and ensure comprehensive, universally discussed, and agreed solutions to the agitations of health workers, which have been missing in recent past negotiations.”
The statement said the assurance was reiterated during a high-level meeting led by the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Ndume, between the top management of the

Gunmen ambush Benue lawmaker’s convoy, kill ex-councillor
Unidentified gunmen have reportedly ambushed the convoy of Prince Shimapever Jiji, the lawmaker representing Logo State Constituency in the Benue State House of Assembly.
The attack occurred at Anyiin, located within the Logo Local Government Area, and resulted in the death of a former Councillor of Tombu Ward, identified as Tsebee, who was killed instantly.
A community member, who preferred not to be named, told our correspondent via phone that the legislator had visited Tombu Council Ward to sympathize with families of victims who lost their lives in an earlier attack last Thursday that claimed about three lives.
According to the source, the convoy came under heavy fire while returning from the visit.
He said, “The unknown assailants who were in their numbers on sighting the convoy at Anyiin started shooting sporadically at the vehicles, killing a former Councillor of Tombu Council Ward and injuring many in the convoy.”
In a phone call, the Chairman of Logo Local Government Area, Clement Kav, confirmed the incident and strongly condemned the attack.
He called on security agencies to bring those responsible for the crime to justice.
According to him, “our son came home to commiserate with the families of the people that were killed in last Thursday attack, I was supposed to be part of his entourage but the governor called me for a meeting, only for me to hear that the Logo representative was attacked on his way back at Anyiin in the late hours of Saturday evening.”
Efforts to reach the Public Relations Officer of the Benue State Police Command, Udeme Edet, for an official statement were unsuccessful, as her phone line was unreachable at the time of filing this report.

Genocide: Panic, mixed reactions trail Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria
The diplomatic row between Nigeria and the United States of America has worsened after President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to take military action if nothing is done about the alleged Christian genocide in Africa’s most populous country.
President Trump, in a statement on his official Truth Social platform, placed the US Defence Department on alert to prepare for war.
Trump further threatened to stop all US-backed aid to Nigeria if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration did not end the alleged massive killing of Christians.
“If the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing’, to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians,” he wrote in the now viral statement on the Truth Social platform.
We’re preparing for action, we’ll kill Islamic terrorists in Nigeria – Peter Hegseth
Reacting to Trump’s statement, US Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth said the Department of War is preparing for action.
According to him, the US will wipe out “the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities in Nigeria”.
He wrote, ‘The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately.’ The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”
The Nigerian government has not responded to the fresh threat by President Trump.
Recall that President Trump on Friday designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern over alleged Christian genocide.
The US government’s decision was swiftly rejected by the Nigerian government and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in separate statements.
President Tinubu, in his official response, said the country “stands firmly as a democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty.”
Earlier, the Nigerian government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement on Saturday, said the claim by the president does not “reflect the situation on ground”.
The deepened diplomatic row between Nigeria and the US has attracted a flurry of reactions among Nigerians in the last 24 hours.
Ndume urges Nigerian govt to engage the US
A former Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, has urged the Federal Government to seek the assistance of seasoned diplomats to engage with the United States government and prevent an escalation of the ongoing diplomatic tensions.
It’s about the 2027 election – Gumi
