    On the adjustment of consolidated health salary structure (CONHESS), the group urged Federal Government to implement the 30th September 2017 agreement on adjustment of CONHESS Salary Structure.

    While appreciating appreciates the Federal Government for approval and circularization of the new hazard allowance for health workers, the Council notes with dismay the non-payment of the new hazard allowance and therefore requests the Federal Government to expedite actions on the implementation.

    Similarly on the non- payment of promotion arrears, Council observed with displeasure that some institutions still owe their staff promotion arrears from year 2017 till date. The Council therefore, call on the Federal Government to make funds available to IPPIS to clear the backlog of arrears without further delay.
