… Seeks implementation of February strike agreement… Says prolonged delay could trigger industrial disharmonyBy Chioma Obinna
The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) and the Assembly of Healthcare Professionals (AHPA) on Sunday urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately implement the adjustment of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), inaugurate the Boards of Management of Federal Health Institutions (FHIs), and fulfil other outstanding agreements reached with health workers, saying continued delays could undermine healthcare delivery and trigger avoidable industrial disharmony.
The unions said the outstanding issues formed part of the terms of settlement signed with the Federal Government on February 15, 2026, which led to the suspension of JOHESU’s 84-day nationwide strike.In a joint statement signed by JOHESU National Chairman, Comrade Kabiru Ado Sani, and National Secretary, Comrade Martin Egbanubi, the unions reminded the Federal Government that key commitments remain unimplemented several months after the agreement.
Among the unresolved issues are the implementation of the CONHESS adjustment and the resumption and conclusion of negotiations on the Health Sector Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
