Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole

The Honourable Minister of Health, Prof Isaac Adewole, has expressed shock and surprise at the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) planned industrial action that is to commence by 12 midnight today, Wednesday, September 20, 2017, on the heels of the call off of strike by resident doctors in the country.

Prof Adewole expressed his shocked on Thursday adding that the Federal Ministry of Health and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment have had series of meeting with the leadership of JOHESU.

“The Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment have had series of meeting with the leadership of JOHESU and most of their demands had been met, this includes, payment of promotion arrears that pre-dated President Muhammad Buhari’s administration. The other issues raised by JOHESU are still being deliberated upon with the leadership of the Union,” he stated.

Prof Adewole appeals to JOHESU and their conscience not to embark on the strike action in the interest of the generality of Nigerians especially the less privileged that may not be able to afford healthcare services in the private hospitals.

He assured that the government of President Buhari will continue do everything humanly possible to guarantee quality and affordable healthcare delivery services to Nigerians.
