Body Rejects Salary Payment Transfer To States
The Primary Health Care workers Association of Nigeria (PHWAN), Rivers State Chapter, has moved against plans to transfer members’ salaries from the local councils to the state government.
The President of PHWAN in Rivers State, Comrade Daniel Atemie, who stated this while speaking to newsmen in Port Harcourt on Monday, said the policy if implemented, would amount to encroachment on the rights of members of the association.
He explained that the proposed transfer of their salaries was intended to undermine their freedom.
“The purported transfer of our salaries from the LGAs to the State government is an intended financial enslavement of the sector’s staffers”, he said.
According to Atemie there was no good reason for such action so long as all the Councils in the State were living up to expectation in the area of staff salaries payments.
He revaled that the association has been properly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with registration certificate number CAC/IT/No./72113.
On the relationship between the PHWAN at the local government level and the State’s Primary Health Care Management Board he stated that it was cordial.
However, he stressed the need for partnership between them even as he called for Co-operation between the boards across the 774 LGAs in the country.
He further reiterated the preparedness of the association to partner with the respective local government authorities to consolidate on the provision of health care to the people at the grassroots level.
