It could be recalled that the Resident Doctors in these Federal institutions had embarked on strike which is currently ongoing over some disagreement with The Federal Government. The said disagreement is on the failure of the Federal Government to fully implement previously signed agreement with the failure of some centers to fully implement the skipping of resident doctors salary at the center stage.
Just like the doctors, the Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, NANNM had also embarked on an indefinite strike to put pressure on the Federal Government to meet their demands.
In a jointly signed
statement, the Medical and Health workers under the auspices of Joint
Health Sector Unions, JOHESU, and the Assembly of Health care
Professionals, AHPA, expressed displeasure over what they described as
Federal government nonchalant attitude’ .
In an interview with Vanguard, Chairman, JOHESU, Shaba Johnson
Adetokunbo explained that the leadership of JOHESU has met with the
Ministry of Labour but the meeting ended in deadlock. He queried why
government would continue to dishonour agreements it entered into with
the union.
“We have just started a 7 days warning strike this morning. Basically
all the workers in every federal government hospitals are on strike.
The government wants a new negotiation. But we are saying that an
agreement is an agreement. If you take over an organisation you will
also be ready to take over the assets and liabilities. Government is a
continuous process.

In a jointly signed statement by the medical and health workers under the aegis of Joint Health Sector Unions, JOHESU and Assembly of Healthcare Professionals, AHPA expressed their displeasure of what they described as ''nonchalant attitude" by the Federal Government to meet a demand which they had earlier agreed on.
Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, the chairman of JOHESU, Shaba Johnson Adetokumbo explained that the leadership of JOHESU has met with the ministry of labour but the meeting ended in a deadlock. He queried why the Federal Government would continue to enter an agreement it entered with the union.
"we have just started a 7-day warning strike this morning. Basicall, all the workers in every Federal Government Hospitals are on strike. The Government wants a new negotiation but we are saying that an agreement is an agreement. If you take over an organization, you will also be ready to take over the assets and liabilities. Government is a continuous process"
All these are to the detriment of the patients who cannot afford treatment in a decent private hospital in a period of severe hardship and economic meltdown. While pleading on the workers to reconsider their decisions to shut down the health sector, the Government should bring up new policies to foster unity and peace in the health sector.
the National
Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), and the National
Association of Resident Doctors, (NARD), had embarked on an indefinite
strike to pressure the government to meet their demands.
