Allied health workers suspend strike at UCH for two weeks
The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals (NUAHP) has suspended its ongoing strike at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, for two weeks.
The union chairman, Oladayo Olabampe, disclosed this in an interview in Ibadan on Tuesday.
According to him, the union announced the suspension in a letter signed by its executives and dated September 21, 2026, addressed to the chief medical director of UCH.
“The suspension takes effect from Tuesday, September 22, 2026, following an intervention by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (FMOHSW),” Mr Olabampe said.
He further said the decision followed an appeal by ministry representatives over the dispute involving Adeyinka Ishola, director of Pharmaceutical Services.
“Due to the intervention by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the national secretariat of this union has approved that the ongoing strike action be suspended for two weeks with effect from Tuesday, September 22, 2026.
“The union has directed its members to resume their duties with effect from the same date,” the NUAHP chairman said.
He said the suspension was for two weeks, indicating that the union expected further engagement on the matter during that period.
The union embarked on the industrial action over its demand for the immediate and unconditional implementation of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare’s decision in the case involving Mr Ishola.
