Nigerian Nurses Begin Nationwide Strike Today.
The action, which began at midnight, followed the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued by NANNM to the federal government.
Nigerian nurses have began a nationwide strike today, July 30, 2025.
The nationwide strike was declared by the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM).
The seven-day nationwide warning strike which began at midnight, followed the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued by NANNM to the federal government.
The National Chairman of NANNM-FHI, Morakinyo Rilwan, warned on Monday, July 28, that the strike would involve a total withdrawal of services across all federal health institutions.
“The 15-day ultimatum ends by Tuesday, July 29, 2025, by midnight, and the warning strike commences on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at 12.01am.
“The action would include 74 federal hospitals – teaching hospitals, federal medical centres, specialist hospitals like orthopaedic, neuro-psychiatric, and eye centres, as well as all general hospitals and primary healthcare centres in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, and 774 local government areas.
“Private hospitals are not included. This is because for now the private practitioner nurses are not spread over Nigeria,” he said.
According to him, the strike was in response to issues which include poor remuneration, staff shortages, unpaid allowances, and unsafe working conditions.
On July 14, 2025, the union issued a 15-day ultimatum to the federal government, demanding immediate intervention to prevent a total healthcare shutdown.
