Johesu To Begin Strike On Wednesday by 0gbeni(m): 9:00am On Feb 16, 2016 |
Public health workers have threatened to
embark on an indefinite strike beginning
on Wednesday over alleged breach of
agreements by the Federal Government.
The workers, under the aegis of Joint
Health Sector Unions and Assembly of
Healthcare Professional Associations, had
earlier handed the government a 15-day
ultimatum with effect from February 3 to
accede to their 10-point demands or risk
a nationwide strike.
Among their demands, the workers called
for the heads of federal health
institutions to be designated “Chief
Executive Officers, against the present
Chief Medical Directors.”
The ultimatum dated February 1 was
contained in letter signed by JOHESU’s
Chairman, Biobelemoye Josiah, to the
Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Mr. Babachir David Lawal,
and the Head of Civil Service of the
Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita.
It read, “In view of the failure of the
present Federal Government to accede to
our demands, JOHESU and AHPA, at their
joint meeting, resolved to give a 15-day
ultimatum beginning on February 3, 2016.
“It is our hope and desire that the
Federal Government would take necessary
steps to ensure that our demands are
met on or before Tuesday, February 17,
2016 in order to forestall the impending
avoidable industrial action.”
According to the workers, unless
government satisfies their demand, they
will resume the suspended strike.
The body decried the marginalisation of
its members which contribute 95 per cent
of health care providers for the country,
JOHESU demanded the implementation of
new circular on the promotion of its
members from CONHESS 14 to 15 as
directors, “which places premium on the
need to sanction defaulting hospital
managements.”
According to them, the HoS should ensure
the expedited issuance of an enabling
circular authorising consultancy cadre for
health professionals, who have adhered
to due process, to be vested with
consultancy status.
They also demanded the payment of
arrears of specialist allowances to
qualified hospital-based health
professionals with effect from January
1, 2010 and immediate and full payment
of arrears of the skipping of CONHESS
10, which has remained outstanding since
the year 2010.
The workers also asked the Federal
Ministry of Health for a circular on
residency programmes for all health
professionals in Nigeria to ensure
professional capacity development in the
health sector.
