Kaduna Health workers suspend warning strike

Health workers in Kaduna State have suspended the five-day warning strike they began on Monday.

Recall that 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 State Secretary, National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Nassa Yashi, issued on Wednesday in Kaduna.

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 fulfill 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.”

Yashi assured of their readiness to represent their members, adding, ”and to do that very well without fear or favor.

” Do not forget, it is suspension, meaning if the promises made are not fulfilled, we shall resume the industrial action at the appropriate time.”
