The Joint Health Sectors Union, JOHESU, in collaboration with the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations, AHPA, have declared seven days nationwide warning strike commencing from midnight of Friday, October 25, 2024.
The National President, JOHESU, Kabiru Minjibir, made this declaration while addressing newsmen at the end of the unions’ expanded National Executive Council, NEC, hybrid meeting in Abuja on Friday.
Minjibir said the unions were yet to get any positive response from the federal government on some of the critical issues raised in-spite of repeated assurances during meetings with the relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.
Recall that the unions had issued a 15-day ultimatum to the federal government on October 10, 2024, to address the issues or risk total shut down of its operations in hospitals nationwide.
The workers were demanding the immediate implementation of CONHESS adjustment, immediate payment of 25 per cent CONHESS Review arrears (June – Dec., 2023), and Immediate payment of nine (9) months’ (Jan – Sept. 2024) salary to workers of Regulatory Agencies.
