Nurses suspend seven-day warning strike
Nurses under the aegis of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) have called off the nationwide warning strike.
This development, which comes three days after the NANNM began a seven-day warning strike, was disclosed in a statement circular signed by the association’s National President, Haruna Mamman, and General Secretary, T.A. Shettima.
The association noted that it agreed to suspend the industrial action after an extensive review of the Memorandum of Understanding.
“NEC acknowledges the positive steps taken by the Federal Government in responding to the nine core demands of NANNM, particularly the commitment to clear timelines for implementation.
“In view of the formal agreement reached, and in line with the principle of dialogue and good faith, NEC hereby suspends the ongoing nationwide strike action with immediate effect,” the statement read in part.
It added that the NEC has directed the national leadership to continue monitoring the implementation of the signed MoU and track the government’s compliance with the agreed timelines.
Shettima and Mamman have directed state councils to mobilise their members and order them to resume duty immediately. They also warned the state councils against victimising nurses for participating in the nationwide strike.
“NEC appreciates the commitment and solidarity of all members throughout this action and reiterates that NANNM remains steadfast in defending the welfare, dignity, and professional rights of all nurses and midwives in Nigeria,” the association said
