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.
“If at the end of the seven days warning strike, the federal government fails to meet our demands, JOHESU have no other option than to embark on an indefinite strike action.
“Nigerians should note that, this action would have been avoided if the federal government had, within the window of the 15-day notice of strike or ultimatum, responded by utilising all options available in the relevant provisions of the Trade Disputes Act Cap. T8 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 to apprehend this dispute of right.
“JOHESU is always committed to the use of the instrumentality of social dialogue to resolve matters affecting the welfare and working conditions of members
