of a 21-day ultimatum issued to government on
the August 1, to accede to the 10-point demand
and agreements reached on May 10, 2012.
The statement was signed by National President
and Secretary-General, Medical & Health
Workers’ Union of Nigeria, Mr. Ayuba Wabba,
and Mr. Marcus Omokhuale, respectively;
National President, National Association of
Universities, Teaching Hospitals, Research
Institutes and Association Institution, Mr.

National Association of Nigeria Nurses and
Midwives, Mr. Yusuf Badmus W.
It said members of the unions at the states and
local governments health facilities are expected
to join the strike as from 12 midnight by August
28.
Recalling the events that led to the current face-
off, the unions pointed out that at a meeting
called by the Minister of Labour and
Productivity on Monday, August 19, neither the
Minister of Health nor his representative
attended the meeting.
They also recalled an earlier meeting, where it
was resolved that items agreed upon required
