“JOHESU will continue to use all legitimate means to defend the rights and demands for the welfare of its members in the health sector. “Nigerians should bear us witness that JOHESU has shown high patriotism by demanding that the public health system in Nigeria is sustained and adequately financed for effective, efficient, and affordable healthcare service delivery.”
Recall that on Saturday, September 12, JOHESU ordered its members to down tools from midnight of Sunday, September 13, 2020, claiming that the Federal government has failed to meet its demands.
