NMA Gives UNIUYO 21-Day Ultimatum Over Medical Lecturers’ Welfare

University-of-Uyo

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Akwa Ibom State branch, has issued a 21-day ultimatum to the management of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) to address concerns regarding the welfare of medical lecturers in the institution.

Addressing journalists after its emergency meeting in Uyo, the state capital on Wednesday, NMA Chairman, Dr. Aniekan Peter explained that the resolve to embark on strike followed the failure of painstaking efforts to reach agreement with the management of UNIUYO.

In a communiqué released after an emergency meeting on March 31, 2025, the association warned that if the university fails to implement its demands, it will proceed on an indefinite strike without further notice.

Peter noted that the attitude of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nyaudoh Ndaeyo led management had over time led to members seeking greener pastures elsewhere including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.

He further said that some medical doctors who are University lecturers are not being migrated to Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) in line with the approval of the University of Uyo Governing Council,” lamenting that “the computed arrears have not been paid since 2016, as done in other Universities that migrated medical doctors to CONMESS.”

The association however, demanded the immediate migration of all medical lecturers to CONMESS, with payment of arrears, as implemented in other federal universities. Immediate promotion of due medical lecturers and payment of promotion arrears. Immediate payment of outstanding three-and-a-half-month salaries owed to medical lecturers.

A 21-day ultimatum for the university to implement these demands, failing which an indefinite strike will commence.

The communiqué further stated that, “The leadership of the Nigerian Medical Association, Akwa Ibom State branch, is willing and ready to meet with the university management at any convenient time within the 21-day window starting from April 2, 2025. We look forward to a cordial working relationship with the university management.”
