That judgment is a semblance of justice Abang's verdict. Strike is a tool employed by labour to drive a point into the head of a deaf government.

Though I have not read the conditions upon which the judge premised his verdict, I hope JOHESU must have met the conditions requisite before embarking on the strike. That order, on my thinking must have been to attend to the dying sick nigerians and not necessary because government or the NGO had a good case against the Union

Same court that gave a judgement which the government has refused to obey


Okay nau!

Come and drag them from their houses to work...

Johesu's madness has been appropriately addressed, if they don't resumed then their leaders would be sent on exile like Nnamdi Kanu.

Arrant nonsense
This is black market court injunction
What of previous court injunctions in favour of JOHESU that FG refused to obey?
It is time Nigerians should protest that Isaac Adewale should be replaced by competent administrator

Unigrad:
You definitely need neuro attention.

U bitter soul. You can never hold the FG to Ransome. Johesu is an amorphous body seeking to reap where it did not sow.

the information is false .its just the NMA propaganda . One of the reasons for the strike is that fed government refused to implement a court order from a case they took JOHESU and johesu won them . So they don't have the monopoly of disobeying court order

# fowardedasrecieved . Breaking news.... ABUJA – THE Joint Health Sector Union, JOHESU, Thursday night relaxed its four weeks old strike in Lagos, Kano and Yobe states to accommodate emergency services. JOHESU The union said that the decision to relax the strike in the three states as a show of appreciation to the state governments for meeting the clamour and terms of settlement demanded by the unions. Speaking to journalists at a press briefing, the National President of JOHESU, Biobelemoye Josiah, also called for the immediate sack of the Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole; accusing him of posing as a major barrier to the resolution of the on-going nationwide strike of health workers. His words: “It is paramount we seize this discourse to specially convey deep appreciation to State Governments which have gone ahead to meet the various clamours and terms of settlement in agreements with government. This include Yobe and Lagos State which have now adjusted the CONHESS Scale as demanded. “We specially commend the Lagos State Government for approving the consultancy cadre for pharmacists in its employment. Just like the Niger State Government did with pharmacists since 2012. “The JOHESU also expresses gratitude to the Kano State government for ensuring good welfare package for its healthcare work force in addition to the intervention of His Excellency Governor Ganduje to ameliorate the on-going strike action. “We urge our members in Lagos, Yobe and Kano to tactically relax the strike to accommodate emergency services in those states as a measure of goodwill. “President Buhari should immediately remove Professor Isaac Adewole from office, as his continued stay remains a major barrier to the resolution of the on-going nationwide strike of health workers. This is a major threat to Public Health especially at a time that the dreaded Ebola disease is currently rampaging in some African Countries. “The Federal Government must energise the deadlocked negotiations between the JOHESU and Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment with genuine conciliators who have national interest. “Specifically, a befitting budget to offset the already compromised three options presented by JOHESU to the Federal Government on May 16, 2018 must be made available through interventions facilitated by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. “We demand an immediate implementation of the terms of settlement of the September 30, 2017 agreement.” We’ll boycott further negotiations, if…. On the order by the National Industrial Court directing members of the union to suspend their on-going strike, and resume duties across the nation within 24 hours, Comrade Josiah said: “We have not been served any court notice. But if it happens that the Ministries of Health and Labour in any way sponsored the ex-parte motion that brought about the court order, we will boycott further negotiations. “The two ministries lack the moral right to take JOHESU to court for any reason, having disobeyed no less than eight court orders in favour of the union.”
