The Joint Health Sector Union, JOHESU, on Thursday called off its 43-day-old strike.
It dircted its members to resume work on Friday.
The body also slamed the Federal Government for failing to meet its demands.
The directive was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the
National Executive Council meeting of JOHESU and Assembly of Healthcare
Professional Associations in Abuja.
The communiqué read in part, “The various gains from the meetings
with the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, were presented to the NEC of
JOHESU.
“After exhaustive deliberations and discussions, the NEC in session
approved that the six-week old strike be suspended this day Thursday,
May 31, 2018 because of the sympathy the unions have for the suffering
Nigerian masses and also to pave way for further negotiations to
continue on Monday, June 4, 2018.”
