Newsupdate: Nurses, Midwives Call Off Strike – Health Minister
Abuja, August 1, 2025 – The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has called off its nationwide warning strike, according to Minister of Health, Ali Pate.
Pate made the announcement after a closed-door meeting with union leaders on Friday, stating that agreements were reached to address the nurses’ grievances.
However, union officials declined to comment publicly following the meeting.
The strike, which began on July 29, was triggered by unmet demands around poor working conditions, low allowances, and calls for a dedicated salary structure and mass recruitment of nurses.
The action had affected operations in public health institutions and was originally scheduled to last until August 5.
NANNM President Morakinyo Rilwan had earlier criticized the government for failing to engage meaningfully during the 15-day ultimatum period that preceded the strike.
Key demands included:
Upward review of shift and uniform allowances
Core duty allowance increase
Mass recruitment of nurses
Establishment of a nursing department within the Ministry of Health
Pate expressed hope that the resolution would lead to a more stable healthcare environment and improved conditions for health workers.
