“We’ll Resolve All The Problems” – Tinubu Urges Health Workers To Call Off Indefinite Strike

President Bola Tinubu has urged the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) to call off its ongoing indefinite strike.

Gatekeepers News reports that in a statement by Abiodun Oladunjoye, state house spokesperson, the president spoke during a meeting with the union’s leadership on Monday.

Members of JOHESU commenced an indefinite nationwide strike on May 24 to compel the government to pay their hazard allowances and meet the salary structure adjustment, among other demands.

In the meeting with the union, Tinubu promised to accelerate the demands of JOHESU and resolve all pending issues.

“The health sector is one sector with a commitment to humanity. We will resolve all the problems,” the president said.

“Trust must be enshrined in all discussions. I promise you we will accelerate this. We will resolve all the issues. Please go back to work.”

On his part, Obinna Ogbonna, JOSEHU’s acting chairman, said the “assurance” from the president would encourage the union members and influence their return to work.

“Mr President, now that we have assurance from the top, we are encouraged to go back and talk to our members with a view to going back to work,” he said
