FG Begins Disbursement of Resident Doctors’ Salary Arrears

The federal government has started paying outstanding salary arrears owed to resident doctors under the revised CONMESS structure. The National Association of Resident Doctors confirmed that some members have received between one and six months of back pay. A portion linked to August salaries is delayed by administrative bottlenecks, but officials say those issues are being resolved. CONMESS adjustments determine pay scales for medical practitioners in government service. Delays have long fueled disputes, poor welfare complaints, and the migration of health workers seeking better conditions abroad. NARD urges any member still awaiting payment after this round to report through local leadership for prompt resolution.
