xHe said that the Federal Government was recently issued notice of trade disputes by NARD and JOHESU. x”They have nothing to do with this discussion on fixing a new hazard allowance for health professionals and workers,” he said. The minister said that the Federal Government would take the final decision on the new hazard allowance for health workers. According to Ngige, the government is treading cautiously in order not to be seen as trying to stampede the health workers since the matter concerns money. Ngige recalled that the Federal Government earlier offered the health workers 300 per cent increment on hazard allowances, which amounted to N37.5 billion.
