Nurses, under the umbrella of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives–Federal Health Institutions Sector, have insisted that their planned seven-day warning strike will begin today, vowing to complete the strike even if the government called for negotiation.
Speaking in an interview with News men on Tuesday, the National Chairman of NANNM-FHI, Morakinyo Rilwan, said the government had 15 days to respond to their demands but failed to act.
Some of the demands of the nurses are the upward review of shift allowance, uniform allowance adjustment, a separate salary structure for nurses, increased core duty allowance, mass employment of nurses, and the establishment of a nursing department in the Federal Ministry of Health, among others.
