Nigeria’s Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU), Thursday, decided to call off its 43-day-old strike and directed its members to resume work on Friday.
The directive was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the National Executive Council meeting of JOHESU and Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations in Abuja.
The communiqué: “The various gains from the meetings with the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, were presented to the NEC of JOHESU.
“After exhaustive deliberations and discussions, the NEC in session approved that the six-week old strike be suspended this day Thursday, May 31, 2018 because of the sympathy the unions have for the suffering Nigerian masses and also to pave way for further negotiations to continue on Monday, June 4, 2018.”
