The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) has announced the suspension of its indefinite nationwide strike for a period of 21 days.

This decision came after a crucial meeting between the union’s leadership and President Bola Tinubu on Monday.

Speaking to Okay.ng, Obinna Ogbonna, the acting chairman of JOHESU, confirmed the union’s decision to suspend the strike.

Ogbonna stated that they are providing the government with a 21-day window of opportunity to address the issues presented by the union.

“The various engagements so far and some of the various processes reactivated. With the intervention of our president today and his plea that we should consider suspending the strike because he is now involved in the matter. The issue was brought to the national executive council, and it was looked at, and we agreed to suspend the strike giving the 21-day window opportunity for the government to address those issues as presented,” Ogbonna explained.

“The president pleaded that we need to build confidence and trust, and we believe he is not going to disappoint us or renege on the process that has been started already.”

JOHESU initiated the nationwide strike on May 24, with health workers taking part in the industrial action to compel the government to meet their demands.

These demands include the payment of hazard allowances and the adjustment of the salary structure, among others.
