The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) has declared an indefinite strike starting from Thursday, 25 May.
According to JOHESU, the decision was made due to the inconsistencies in the ongoing negotiations to adjust the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) for health workers.
The union had previously issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, which commenced on May 10 to expire at midnight on Thursday, 25 May.

The national vice president of JOHESU, Obinna Ogbonna made the announcement at a media briefing in Abuja on Thursday.
He said:
“The strike is consequent upon the nonchalant, biassed, and lackadaisical attitude of the Ministry of Health against JOHESU members and the resolution of the expanded National Executive Council meeting of the JOHESU held on May 8.
“Our members in federal health institutions nationwide are hereby directed to withdraw their services indefinitely commencing from 00:00 hour on Thursday, May 25, 2023.”
