The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has issued a seven-day ultimatum, beginning from last Friday (February 14), to implement the 34-year-old judgement.
NANNM’s National President Abdrafiu Adeniji addressed reporters yesterday in Abuja on the planned strike.
He warned that if the government failed to meet the demands of the union, the workers would begin an indefinite strike from Sunday, February 23.
The union leader said the union could no longer tolerate the continued refusal of the Health Ministry to fully implement the Industrial Arbitration Panel (IAP) awards and the National Industrial Court (NIC) judgments in the last 34 years.
Adeniji said: “On May 7, 1981, the tribunal of the AIP gave awards to the NANNM, which bordered on the professionalism of nursing, autonomy of the nursing profession, the scheme of service for nurses, among others.
“The Federal Ministry of Health and the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation refused to implement the awards in full since 1981, despite the association’s repeated appeals and reminders.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
