Kaduna State health workers have suspended the five-day warning strike that started on Monday. They had previously gone on strike to demand an enhancement in their welfare package.
Their demands were outlined in a communique signed by Nassa Yashi, the State Secretary of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), on Wednesday in Kaduna.
He said,” The health workers engaged in a frantic and meaningful discussion with the government, which resulted in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
”The suspension is to also give room for more negotiations and await the government to fulfil her own side of the MOU. The strike is hereby suspended and the workers are expected to resume their normal duties immediately.
”The state administrative council (SAC) sincerely appreciates your massive support and resoluteness in making this struggle for the betterment of our welfare a huge success.”
Yashi confirmed their preparedness to advocate for their members, emphasising that they would do so impartially and without bias.
”Do not forget, it is suspension, meaning if the promises made are not fulfilled, we shall resume the industrial action at the appropriate time,” he added.
