LAGOS— Barely a week after the National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, suspended a 10-day strike, public hospitals nationwide are facing imminent shutdown as all the major unions of health workers under the umbrella of the Joint Health Sector Unions, JOHESU, yesterday, embarked on indefinite strike.

JOHESU and National Association of Allied Health Professionals, NUAHP, had threatened to shut down operations in public hospitals due to the prolonged delay by the Federal Government in meeting their demands dating back to 2012.

Comprising unions of nurses, laboratory scientists, physiotherapists, among others, that make up about 95 per cent of health workers and care providers in the health sector, JOHESU had earlier issued a seven-day ultimatum and declared a nationwide industrial action that it tagged Operation Alligator Bite.

Demands

Among the demands are revamp of infrastructure in the tertiary health institutions; report of the inter-ministerial sub-committee on critical matters in the health sector and professional autonomy.

Others include non-payment of backlog of arrears, residency training; appointments of consultants and payment of specialist allowance; and implementation of the National Health Act, among others.

Prior to the strike declaration, JOHESU and the Assembly of Healthcare Professionals Associations, AHPA, had urged the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, and Speaker of the House of representatives, Yakubu Dogara, to wade into the lingering crisis.

22,000 nurses, midwives down tools

Following expiration of the ultimatum, yesterday, about 22,000 registered nurses and midwives in the public service proceeded on indefinite strike.

Announcing the strike in a statement, President of National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, NANNM, Abdrafiu Adeniyi, directed all nurses and midwives to proceed on indefinite strike from midnight yesterday, saying the decision was in agreement with JOHESU’s position.

Adeniyi who regretted lack of equipment and medical consumables in all the health facilities, said the development had affected the delivery of quality healthcare. He called for amendment of the existing anti-quackery law to checkmate the proliferation of quacks in the health sector and particularly in the nursing profession.

LorDBolton:
Oga why are u bothering with enlightening this people?

I couldn't help but laugh when I read reno omokri stuff on biafra and how u.s treated Japan after war

Many of them were masturbating on that thread and I was laughing

Firstly it's murtala mohammed who successfully crossed the river niger after being beaten back twice... it's not easy to land ashore the enemy beach (ask allied forces during ww2) he lost a lot of men but once he landed all biafran forces took off.

He then left after disagreements with superiors over proceeding to Enugu or so (can't remember)

Also it was germany that wowed the world with their inventions especially the u-boats and a special transmission device used to send messages that took years for allied forces to crack.

The useless omokri didn't inform the biafrans what Japan lost during that war... japan's saving grace was their emperor who didn't run away unlike ojukwu .



Bros pls let them keep masturbating on technology that made them even more vulnerable to NA attacks

mrvitalis:

My point is, Lagos state still get a cut of nearly every money generating entity in Nigeria while your states doesn't get any cut of any money generating entity outside your village.



1. This beer making joint in Anambra is a $100 million investment making 1 single product

2. The new Procter & Gamble plant in Ogun state that makes tons of consumer products, I single investment cost $300 million.


You people just love to bore us with little and irrelevant nonsense...

aresa:
Same way all the oil companies are HQed in Lagos, hiring Lagosians, paying workers and taxes in Lagos, their workers in Lagos paying taxes in Lagos and Sabmiller paying huge property taxes in Lagos..


Get some sense...

aresa:
Why compare when the Sabmiller itself is HQed in the same almighty Lagos.?

Propropro:
This man likes camera too much. What's the big deal in visiting a sabmiller that is not even known beyond igbo land while we have Nigerian breweries and Guinness in the southwest
