Members of the Joint Health Sector Unions and Assembly of Health Care Professionals have declared a seven-day warning strike, commencing from midnight on Friday (today).
Addressing journalists in Abuja, the national chairman of the Union, Kabiru Minijibir, on Friday, listed some of its demands.
They include the immediate implementation of the consolidated health salary structure, payment of a twenty-five per cent review of its arrears from June to December 2023, upward review of retirement age for health workers, tax waiver on healthcare workers allowances, and the immediate payment of COVID-19 inducement hazard allowance among other demands.
The latest strike comes after a fifteen-day notice of industrial action issued to the Federal Government.
It would be recalled that DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS had reported that the union was mobilising its members across the country to embark on a seven-day warning strike, beginning from midnight of October 25, 2024.
The body is asking all its members across the country to comply with the directive.
