FG appeals to nurses, midwives to shelve impending strike.

The Federal Government has appealed to the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives to shelve its seven-day warning strike. 

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Dingyadi, made the appeal during a meeting with the leadership of the Association in Abuja on Tuesday, urging them to prioritize dialogue over industrial action.

The Association had declared the strike over demands for improved working conditions, better welfare packages, increased recognition, adequate staffing, increased resources, and sufficient remuneration. 

The nurses expressed frustration over the government's failure to meet their demands, and this has led to the warning strike.

Dingyadi said the meeting between the government and association will continue on Friday at the Federal Ministry of Health headquarters to work out a resolution to the dispute, assuring that the government is committed to addressing the nurses' concerns. 

Consequently, the outcome of the negotiations will determine the next course of action for the association
