LAUTECH Medical, Dental Lecturers Suspend Four-Month Strike After Partial CONMESS Response The Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) at LAUTECH has suspended its four-month strike following an emergency congress held on Monday. The industrial action, which began on July 31, was triggered by the university’s delayed implementation of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS). Although only the basic salary component has been paid, allowances and arrears dating back to January 2025 remain outstanding. NAMDA said the suspension was reached unanimously to allow further “good-faith engagement” with the university management. The lecturers rejected earlier proposals shifting full CONMESS implementation to July 2026 and warned that future actions hinge on the university’s commitment to fulfilling outstanding obligations. The association acknowledged interventions from the Governing Council and the Oyo State Commissioner for Education and urged swift action to prevent setbacks to medical training and accreditation. #LAUTECH #NAMDA #CONMESS #StrikeUpdate #MedicalLecturers #OyoState #EducationNews #IndustrialAction #NigeriaNews #UniversityUpdates

Health Minister Engages Striking Nurses, Midwives in Urgent Talks Amid Nationwide Health Sector Crisis In a bid to end the ongoing strike crippling Nigeria’s healthcare system, Health Minister Muhammad Ali Pate has entered crucial negotiations with leaders of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) and Labour Ministry officials. The strike, which began on July 29, followed the government’s alleged failure to address welfare concerns and poor working conditions despite an ultimatum issued on July 14. Union Chairman Morakinyo Rilwan criticized the government's silence, stating that it had missed multiple opportunities for dialogue. With the industrial action expected to last until August 5, all eyes are now on the outcome of Pate’s intervention, which many hope will bring swift resolution and restore services in Nigeria’s overstretched health sector. #NursesStrike #HealthcareCrisis #NigeriaHealthSector #MinisterPate #NANNM #HealthWorkersProtest #StrikeUpdate
