Health workers’ union under the umbrella of the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) has suspended its 12-day-old strike.
Mr Obinna Ogbonna, JOHESU National Vice President said this on Monday to newsmen.
Ogbonna said the strike had been suspended due to the progress made during the engagement with President Bola Tinubu.
He said the health workers called a meeting shortly after meeting with the president and decided to call off the strike and gave a 21-day timeline to the government
“We met with President Tinubu at the villa and he pleaded with the striking health workers to give him the benefit of the doubt.
“The president says that he will resolve the matters amicably to our own benefit and positive results,” Ogbonna said.
According to him, the congress considered his plea and also said we should give a 21-day timeline to assess progress and commitment of state actors in resolving the issues. (NAN)
