The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has suspended its nationwide warning strike.
This was confirmed in a circular signed by the associationβs National President, Haruna Mamman, and General Secretary, T.A. Shettima.
On Wednesday, the nurses began a seven-day nationwide warning strike. The strike, according to NANNMβs leadership, was aimed at addressing issues including poor remuneration, staff shortages, unpaid allowances, and unsafe working conditions.
This strike came amid an existing face-off between doctors and the government over welfare and other issues.
Daily Trust reports that the strike, which followed the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued by NANNM to the federal government, has disrupted healthcare services across Nigeria.
The strike was suspended on Saturday following a virtual meeting of NANNMβs National Executive Council.
On Friday, the association met with the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the Office of the Head of Service, the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Office of the Accountant General, the National Salaries and Wages Commission, and other relevant stakeholders to address its membersβ demands.
The circular titled βSuspension of the Ongoing Nationwide Nursesβ Strikeβ, stated that NEC resolved to suspend the strike after an extensively review of the Memorandum of Understanding and the agreed time-bound implementation framework.
It partly read, βNEC acknowledges the positive steps taken by the Federal Government in responding to the nine core demands of NANNM, particularly the commitment to clear timelines for implementation.
βIn view of the formal agreement reached, and in line with the principle of dialogue and good faith, NEC hereby suspends the ongoing nationwide strike action with immediate effect.
βNEC has directed the national leadership to continue monitoring the implementation of the signed MoU and track the governmentβs compliance with the agreed timelines.
βState councils are directed to mobilize members for the immediate resumption of duty. NEC resolved that no member of NANNM, including intern and locum nurses, should be victimized for participating in the nationwide strike.
βNEC appreciates the commitment and solidarity of all members throughout this action and reiterates that NANNM remains steadfast in defending the welfare, dignity, and professional rights of all nurses and midwives in Nigeria.β
