The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has ended its warning strike following an agreement with the Federal Government, Health Minister Ali Pate announced on Friday after a closed door meeting.
The strike began on July 29, 2025, over poor welfare, allowances, and working conditions. The union had accused the government of ignoring a 15-day ultimatum issued on July 14.
Key demands included better shift and uniform allowances, a special salary structure, increased core duty allowance, mass recruitment of nurses, and a dedicated nursing department in the Health Ministry.
Though union leaders declined to speak after the meeting, Pate confirmed that the issues were addressed and the strike was officially called off.
