Kaduna health workers suspend warning strike
Health workers in Kaduna have suspended the five-day warning strike they began on Monday.
The workers embarked on the strike to press home demands for the improvement of their welfare package.
This is contained in a communique signed by the secretary of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM Kaduna chapter), Nassa Yashi, issued on Wednesday.
He said, “The health workers engaged in a frantic and meaningful discussion with the government, which resulted into 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 appreciate your massive support and resoluteness in making this struggle for the betterment of our welfare a huge success.”
“Do not forget, it is suspension, meaning if the promises made are not fulfilled, we shall resume the industrial action at the appropriate time,” it said.
