Members of the Joint Health Sector Unions and Assembly of Health Care Professionals (JOHESU) have launched a seven-day warning strike beginning at midnight on Friday (today).
The new strike follows a fifteen-day notice of industrial action sent to the federal government.
While addressing journalists in Abuja, the union’s national chairman, Kabiru Minjibir, enumerated some of its demands.
They include the immediate implementation of the consolidated health salary structure, a 25% review of its arrears from June to December 2023, an increase in the retirement age for health workers, a tax waiver on healthcare workers’ allowances, and the immediate payment of the COVID-19 inducement hazard allowance, among other demands.
The body is asking all its members across the country to comply with the directive.
