Nigeria Health Minister Claim Of Being Taken By Surprise By JOHESU Strike Untrue. by iamseun(m): 12:00pm on September 22

-NANNM Commended all Nurses and declared No retreat no surrender in this struggle

The President of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives has described as untrue the statement credited to the Health Minister that he was taken aback by its members' strike as most of their demands had been met.

In a message sent to Nursesarena.com, the number one nurse in the country appreciated nurses and midwives across the country for complying with the directive. He wondered why the Health Minister would lie against his own conscience that he was surprised by the commencement of strike by JOHESU whose members make up about 95% workforce in the health sector.

Nursesarena.com observed that Mr. Adewole had earlier told reporters that most of their demands had been met, including payment of promotion arrears that pre-dated the Muhammad Buhari administration hence he was surprised by the declaration of strike by JOHESU.

Reports from various parts of the country indicate that all Nurses, Midwives and other health workers fully complied with the directive to shun work . The University Graduate Nurses in the country had also directed it members to join the ongoing JOHESU's Strike.

Below is the statement from the number one nurse in the country.


I must declare my appreciation and commendation for the level of compliance at the day 1 of this ongoing strike action that painfully became inevitable by the non- chalancy displayed by the FMoH under the leadership of the minister of health. The report reaching us indicates success. Though there are indications of slight hitches in some areas. Kudos to our field soldiers.

However, it is pertinent to watch closely the trend of events. Especially the utterances and body languages of the government agents. Prof. Adewole lied against his conscience by telling the media that he was surprised at the commencement of the strike by health workers. The question is, is JOHESU declaration of dispute and the long protracted process at resolving it new? He claimed that major issues in our demands had been attended to. He cited only payment of promotion arrears, saying our members have been promoted and that the discussion is ongoing on other things. Whether Mr Prof is feigning ignorance or playing deceptive strategy, or truly disorientated to trend of events and happenings in his ministry, we must prepare thick and thin for this onslaught.

Dear colleagues, the minister and his cohorts in Buhari's government want to trivialise our struggle. Unfortunately this might be to the peril of Nigeria citizens. Well, our slogan shall remain "no retreat no surrender." Good morning.

Yours,
Triple A
National President
NANNM
