Nurses Suspend Four-Day Warning Strike After Negotiation With Govt

THE National Association of
Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has officially suspended its seven-day warning strike, four days after its commencement.
The National President of NANNM, Haruna Mamman, announced the suspension of the strike at a press briefing in Abuja on Saturday.

Mamman said the decision was reached after an emergency virtual meeting of the national executive council, where the signed memorandum of understanding was reviewed.

According to him, the Federal Government has agreed to a time-bound implementation of all nine key demands presented by the association.
This comes a day after the leadership of the association met with the Federal Government delegation led by the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate.

Pate had announced on Friday that the nurses and midwives had called off the strike after the meeting.
