 Anambra Nurses Protest Poor Pay, Working Conditions, and Alleged Maltreatment


Nurses in Anambra State, under the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), have staged a protest over poor working conditions in government-owned health facilities.


The demonstration took place at Nurses House in Okpuno, where the nurses gathered to voice their grievances and urged their state leadership to relay their concerns to the government.


Key issues raised include the poor implementation of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), making their earnings the lowest among neighboring states.


The nurses decried the non-payment of full salaries, saying:

They have never received more than 60% of their wages, despite the minimum wage increase.

Many work in overcrowded hospitals, where wards meant for 20 patients now house over 80.

Their hazard allowance remains at ₦3,000, far below the statutory ₦30,000.


They appealed to the state government, through the Commissioner for Health, to intervene urgently as their situation continues to deteriorate.


Responding to their concerns, NANNM Chairperson, Mrs. Edith Onwuka, assured them that discussions with the state government were underway, urging patience while efforts are made to resolve the issues.
