The Joint Health Sector Unions and Assembly of
Healthcare Professionals (JOHESU) has suspended its
industrial action.
This followed a meeting between the leadership of the
union and representatives of the federal government in
Abuja.
Biobelemoye Josiah, chairman of the union, has
directed members to resume work on Wednesday,
saying the strike was suspended “in principle”.
Josiah said another meeting has been scheduled for
Tuesday, explaining that the agreements reached on
Saturday would be ratified next week.
Stephen Ocheni, minister of state for labour, led the
federal government team at Saturday’s meeting which
lasted nine hours.
The union embarked on a nationwide strike on
September 20, to protest among other issues, salaries
adjustments, promotion arrears, and improved work
environment for its members.
