The Joint Health Sector Unions and Assembly of Health Care Professionals (JOHESU) has announced a seven-day warning strike set to begin at midnight on Friday.
This decision follows a fifteen-day notice of industrial action that the union issued to the Federal Government.
Speaking to the press in Abuja, JOHESU’s national chairman, Kabiru Minjibir, outlined several demands. These include the implementation of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), payment of a 25% review on arrears from June to December 2023, an upward review of the retirement age for health workers, a tax waiver on healthcare workers’ allowances, and the immediate payment of COVID-19 hazard allowances.
JOHESU has called on its members across Nigeria to observe the strike. More details are expected to follow.
