The Joint Health Sector Unions, the umbrella body of health workers’ unions in Nigeria, on Friday suspended its 84-day strike.
Sparklight news learned from a top source quoting the National President of JOHESU, Kabir Minjibir.
The suspension followed a last-minute intervention heralded by the Federal Ministry of Labour on Thursday night.
The strike, which entered its 84th day on Friday, has paralysed activities in government-owned hospitals across the country, leaving patients stranded and forcing many to seek essential medical services outside public health facilities.
JOHESU, which represents health professionals in pharmacies, laboratories, and other support departments, has maintained that the action will continue until the Federal Government implements the report of the Technical Committee on the adjustment of CONHESS, submitted since 2021.
