Ondo nurses threaten strike over non-increase of salaries, poor welfare

The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Ondo State Council has issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Ondo State Government to implement a new pay increase for its members or face an industrial action.

NANNM gave the ultimatum in a letter to the State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on Tuesday.

The letter, which was signed by the State Chairman of the Association, Orobode Felix, and the State Secretary, Ayenioye Olabisi, demanded the implementation of “Upward Review of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure, CONHESS.”

The union disagreed with the posturing of the state government which allegedly tended to make nurses inferior to other professionals in the health sector.

The union noted that the pay of medical doctors were increased in August and the government immediately started implementing it.
