The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has confirmed that the Federal Government has begun disbursing long-awaited arrears from the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) review.
Members have started receiving payments covering one to six months of outstanding arrears, though the August component faces administrative delays of up to two weeks.
The disbursement is seen as a strategic move to address welfare concerns and prevent further industrial action in a health sector already strained by the mass migration of medical professionals.
The Federal Government has officially started clearing the backlog of salary arrears owed to members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).
