Nurses, under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, NANNM, are set to commence on a seven-day warning strike.
The industrial action is scheduled to holf from Tuesday, July 29, 2025.
According to the association, the decision to embark on the strike follows the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government over demands related to the review of allowances for health workers.
A circular signed by NANNM’s 2nd National Vice President, Orolu Sesan, and Deputy General Secretary, Elder Otaru Daniel Shaibu, directed all state council leaders to mobilise members for the industrial action if the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare fails to meet the demands.
The circular instructed state leaders to convene meetings of relevant organs on Monday, July 28, in preparation for the strike.
The association added that the industrial action will commence immediately after the ultimatum expires if the government does not address the its concerns.
