The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives \u2013 Federal Health Institutions Sector has denied reports that the union has suspended its ongoing nationwide seven-day warning strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking with our correspondent on Friday, the National Public Relations Officer of NANNM-FHI, Omomo Tibiebi, clarified that the strike, which began on Wednesday, remains in effect despite a meeting with the minister earlier in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurses embarked on the strike to press home their long-standing demands, including an upward review of shift allowance, adjustment of uniform allowance, a separate salary structure for nurses, an increase in core duty allowance, mass recruitment of nurses, and the establishment of a nursing department in the Federal Ministry of Health, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tibiebi said, \u201cThe strike has not been suspended. Earlier today, the NANNM executives had a meeting with the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Pate, and it was the minister that went to press to say the strike was called-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe wasn\u2019t the one that called the strike in the first place, so he has no right to call off the strike. So, the strike is still on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
