Nurses To Commence 7-Day Strike Today
Nurses, under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), will today (Tuesday) embark on a seven-day warning strike.
The decision, according to NANNM, followed the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued to the federal government over improved welfare, fair allowances, and better working conditions for nurses.
A notice signed by its National Secretary, Enya Osinachi and released by its President, Morakinyo-Olajide Rilwan, said the decision followed an emergency National Executive Council meeting held on July 10 in Abuja.
NANNM-Federal Health Institutions (FHI) sector noted that the strike was intended to force proactive dialogue on critical issues affecting nurses nationwide.
“The strike, starting at 12 on Tuesday, July 29, will involve total service withdrawal across all federal health institutions,” the notice stated.
