    The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has suspended its nationwide warning strike, four days after it commenced the strike over poor welfare, stagnated allowances, and staffing shortages, among others.

     

    The strike was suspended on Saturday following a virtual meeting of NANNM’s National Executive Council (NEC).

     

    The decision comes after negotiations with the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the Office of the Head of Service, the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Office of the Accountant General, the National Salaries and Wages Commission, and other relevant stakeholders to address its members’ demands.

     

    The Assistant Secretary-General of the association, Chidi Aligwe, confirmed the suspension to the press on Saturday, saying, “The strike has been suspended. Nurses and midwives are to resume duty immediate
