The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) and the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations have announced an indefinite nationwide strike, set to begin on Saturday, November 15, 2025.
The unions said the action became inevitable following what they described as the Federal Government’s continued failure to implement the adjusted Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) and address outstanding welfare and systemic challenges affecting workers in the sector.
The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Friday and signed by the National Chairman of JOHESU, Comrade Kabiru Ado Minjibir.
According to the statement, while the non-implementation of the revised CONHESS remains the major point of contention, a number of unresolved agreements and welfare issues also contributed to the decision to withdraw services nationwide.
JOHESU urged all its members across the country to fully comply with the strike order and cautioned the government against any form of intimidation or punitive action in response to the industrial action.
