The Joint Health Sector Unions, a conglomerate of
several health care associations in Nigeria will on
Wednesday begin an indefinite strike over the
union’s claim that the Federal Government has
refused to implement all contentious agreements.
The strike follows the expiration of the 48-hour
ultimatum, which it handed down to government at
the end of its meeting in Abuja.
The threat came barely 24 hours after JOHESU had
announced that government had issued a circular
that other health professionals would henceforth be
entitled to be called consultants.
The union in the communique signed by its
Chairman, Ayuba Wabba, and Secretary, W.G.
Yusuf-Badmus, described government’s attitude as
“filibustering.”
The contentious issues between JOHESU and
government include non-promotion of its members
from salary CONHESS 14-15 as directors having
stayed for 4-15 years on the same salary level
without promotion in most federal tertiary hospitals;
immediate release of circular on adjustment of
salary since January 2014 and immediate payment
of at least two months arrears while the remaining
is paid after being accommodated in the 2015
budget.
Others are payment of arrears of specialist
allowance to qualified hospital-based professionals,
with effect from January 1, 2010, in line with the
National Industrial Court of Nigeria’s ruling and non-
release of harmonised scheme of service for
nurses and midwives.

This is becoming unbearable. It is either the union leaders do not know the impact their strike has on the citizens or the FG alongside its implementation committees are unserious. Each time we read about the government not implementing an agreement earlier reached which tells more on the integrity of our leaders.

Smh........

Strike here they come

Another episode?

Watching to see how this plays out..

Do we still have solid union member that represent us well at the national level? All they know is only their pocket.

Before you know it another ultimatum will be released after they might have filled pocket (bribe).

One person I respected most is Mr.Felix Faniran, the president of NUAP and vice president JOHESU (pardon me if I don't get it very well) who act by his words and follows it.
JOHESU is on it now, let's see their outcome.

The only language our government understand is strike.

hmnnnnn

Painful but necessary
