Health workers in the country under the umbrella of Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) have declared what it tagged “Operation Alligator Bite.”
The group is, therefore, asking its members across the country to proceed on an indefinite and total strike action from Wednesday, September 20, 2017 if government failed to meet its demand.
The Unions accused the Federal Ministry of Health and the federal government of bias in their handling of matters that concern the health sector, with preferential treatment accorded to medical doctors whenever they embark on “illegal strike” action.
A statement issued Wednesday by its President, Biobelemoye Josiah, claimed the Ministry of Health had invited them to a meeting only to snub them.
JOHESU is made up of Medical and Health Workers of Nigeria’ National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, Senior Staff Association of Universities, Teaching Hospitals, Research Institutes and Associated Institutions, Nigeria Union of Allied Health Professionals and Non Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutes.
