Oyo nurses, midwives vow strike continuation until demands are met
Nurses and midwives in Oyo State on Wednesday insisted that their ongoing strike would not be called off until their demands were met by the state government.
Samuel Adeyemi, chairman of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, Samuel Adeyemi, said in an interview with journalists in Ibadan that there was no going back on the industrial action.
The nurses and midwives in the state government-owned hospitals and health centres began an indefinite strike on May 21.
The industrial action has been taking its toll on the patients who daily throng the hospitals with no nurses or midwives to attend to them.
The association’s demands include urgent mass recruitment of nurses and midwives and correction of the wrong notional date on the promotion letters of members who were due in 2017/2018.
