JOHESU Asks Nigerians To Blame FG Over Healthcare Disruption The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) has urged Nigerians to hold the Federal Government responsible for the hardship being experienced across the country’s healthcare system following its ongoing strike. According to the union, the strike became inevitable after the government failed to address longstanding demands despite several engagements. JOHESU recalled that President Bola Tinubu had, in 2023, assured the union that he would mandate the appropriate ministry, department, or agency to resolve the issues raised. However, the union lamented that no concrete action has been taken since then, leaving health workers with no option but to withdraw their services. JOHESU maintained that the suffering of patients and other Nigerians in need of medical attention could have been avoided if the Federal Government had honoured its commitments, stressing that responsibility for the disruption lies squarely with the authorities. #JOHESU #NigeriaHealthcare #FGResponsibility #HealthSectorCrisis

Doctors' Deadline: NMA Gives Tinubu Govt 21 Days To Meet Demands Or Face Nationwide Strike The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Tinubu-led Federal Government, demanding the fulfillment of 19 critical welfare and healthcare-related demands — or face an indefinite nationwide doctors’ strike. In a strongly-worded communique following its Emergency Delegates Meeting on July 26, 2025, the NMA expressed deep frustration over unpaid salary arrears, stalled agreements, and continued neglect of Nigeria’s health sector, citing that leaders themselves rely on medical tourism abroad. Doctors warned of a looming collapse of the healthcare system and a worsening brain drain if urgent action isn't taken. #NMAUltimatum #DoctorsStrikeLooms #TinubuGovt #HealthSectorCrisis #MedicalNeglect
