The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) and Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations (AHPA) have suspended their threat to shut down healthcare services in the country.
The unions had earlier threatened to disrupt normal services in hospitals and other healthcare facilities across the country over Federal Government’s inability to meet their member’s demands.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the union had on Sept. 2, issued the federal government a 15-day ultimatum to meet its demands without which it will embark on nationwide strike at the expiry date. He also said the decision was unanimously reached by “the Presidents and General Secretaries of affiliate unions and Professional Associations, NEC members of affiliate unions and JOHESU Chairmen and Secretaries at the State and branch levels.
“The expanded NEC lauded the Federal Government for the marginal paradigm shift in resolving some of its demands particularly as it relates the on-going payment of outstanding COVID-19 Special Inducement and Hazard Allowance.
