Kaduna State health workers have suspended their five-day warning strike after engaging in productive discussions with the government, resulting in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
According to reports, the workers are expected to resume their normal duties immediately, but the strike can resume if the government does not fulfill its promises .
A communique issued on Wednesday in Kaduna by the State Secretary of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Nassa Yashi, confirmed that the health workers have suspended their five-day warning strike, effective immediately.
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 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.”
Yashi reaffirmed their commitment to robustly representing the interests of their members, emphasizing their dedication to doing so in a fair and impartial manner, without yielding to external influences or biases.
