COALITION OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS SUSPENDS STRIKE IN NASARAWA STATE.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

                       9th July 2021

The coalition of Nasarawa State Health Professional Associations (CNSHPA) has suspended its one-month-old strike.

Spokesperson of CNSHPA, Mr Kyari Caleb, made this known while briefing newsmen on Friday in Lafia.

Caleb, who is also the state Chairman of the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN), explained that the suspension of the strike followed interventions by major stakeholders in the state.

He added that the agreement to suspend the strike was reached on Friday (today) at the congress of the coalition, following appeals by the Traditional Council of Chiefs in Nasarawa state, led by its Chairman and Emir of Lafia, Sidi Bage.

Caleb, therefore, directed members to resume work immediately to allow well-meaning individuals to continue to meditate on grey areas.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the state chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Dr Emmanuel Sabo, has distanced his association from the agreement signed between organised labour and the state government.

Sabo explained that NMA was part of the coalition of health professionals which commenced industrial action on June 7 before the organised labour went on its own strike on June 15.

He said that NMA was not part of the agreement with labour and, therefore, did not sign the agreement.

The coalition is made up of six unions: including NMA, AMLSN and the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) among others.
