The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) on Monday gave the
federal government a seven-day ultimatum to meets its demands.
The union said it would occupy the Federal Ministry of
Health for days and thereafter proceed on industrial action if the government does
not accede to its demands.
Speaking during a rally organised by the union in
collaboration with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union
Congress (TUC) in Abuja, President of the union, Comrade Josiah Biobelemoye
said the union wanted to proceed on industrial action after the federal
government failed to meet its demand following the ultimatum that ended on 31st
January.
He said the union decided not to do so for now because of
the effects it would have on Nigerians, and because some clergymen last weekend
mediated and appealed to the union not to proceed on strike yet.
President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba
decried the discriminatory practices against health workers in the country
saying that for peace to reign in the sector, there must be justice.
