JOHESU calls off strike for 21 days following meeting with Tinubu

The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) and Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations have decided to suspend their indefinite strike for a period of 21 days.

The decision came after a crucial meeting between the union leaders and President Bola Tinubu on Monday.

Matthew Ajirotu, the Acting National Secretary of JOHESU, conveyed the news of the strike suspension via a text message to The PUNCH.

He stated that President Tinubu has pledged to grant approval for their demands, prompting the union to temporarily halt the strike action.

According to Ajirotu, “JOHESU has just suspended its strike with a caveat to review it after 21 days. We met President Tinubu today at a 1-hour parley and he promised to give approval to the demands after further consultations with appropriate quarters in government.”
