Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) has called off its nationwide strike which commenced on Wednesday, November 12, 2014.

The National Chairman of the union, Ayuba Wabba, has directed members to resume work immediately.

The JOHESU strike was as a result of the refusal of government to implement the promotions and welfare packages, as well as payment of arrears of specialist allowance to qualified hospital based professionals with effect from January 1, 2010, in line with the National Industrial Court of Nigeria’s ruling and non-release of harmonized scheme of service for nurses and midwives.
