Federal Government Reaches Agreement With JOHESU — After Five-hour Meeting
The federal government says it has reached an agreement with members of the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) and the assembly of healthcare professionals association.
Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment, said this on Tuesday, while addressing journalists at the end of a five-hour meeting with the leadership of JOHESU in Abuja.
JOHESU had, on September 3, issued a 15-day ultimatum to the federal government to meet their demands or the health workers would embark on a strike.
According to Ngige, a memorandum of understanding would be signed next week.
He said both sides reached an understanding on all the issues in dispute, adding that matters discussed included the hazard allowance, review of retirement age from 60 to 65 years, and arrears relating to the adjustment on the new national minimum wage.
He added that an understanding was also reached on the upward adjustment of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), as done with Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS).
“Based on previous discussion, we delivered to them (JOHESU) the financial implication of what is due to them and they promised to get back to their members and report back to us,” NAN quoted the minister to have said.
