The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) and the Assembly of Health Care Professional Association have directed their members to embark on an indefinite strike.
JOHESU’s National Vice President, Dr. Obinna Ogbonna, said this at a briefing in Abuja on Thursday.
The leadership of JOHESU, in a letter dated May 9, 2023, issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Federal Government over alleged inconsistencies of the government in the ongoing negotiations to adjust the Consolidated Health Salary Structure for health workers on their platforms.
The 15-day ultimatum commenced on May 10, 2023, and will expire at midnight on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
Obinna said: “It becomes imperative to inform you that since the Federal Government is yet to meet these demands, our members have been directed by the JOHESU National Executive Council to proceed on an indefinite strike action upon expiration of the ultimatum by midnight of May 25, 2023.”
Last week, the Nigeria association of resident doctor (NARD) embacked on a 5-day warning strike over government failure to fulfill the agreement reached with the association.
