My dear Elders, Teachers and Colleagues, at the last NMA NEC meeting in Osogbo, the NOC proposed a building levy payable by all members of the Association.
Although the mode of payment was not clearly spelt out, at the leadership retreat in Lagos (the President was absent) we were informed that the NOC will organize meeting with the different NMA zones where members will be sensitized before the commencement of payment.
I wish to inform you that the NMA President has confirmed the commencement of the payment on another forum today (painful as the decision may be) there is definitely a communication gap between the President and the Secretary General for the wrong information passed during the leadership retreat.
As it stands now, it seems the building levy payment is inevitable. If there is any other information to the contrary we will duly inform you.
Thank you
