Delta govt calls on nurses, midwives to call off indefinite strike
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

The Delta State Government has called on the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, Delta State Council to call off the statewide indefinite strike action it embarked on with effect from 12 midnight of December 3, 2020.

The State Commissioner for Health, Dr Mordi Ononye made the call in Asaba in a swift reaction to the strike embarked on by the nurses over some demands on the government by the Association.

Dr Ononye expressed dismay that the Association could call on their members to embark on an indefinite strike just a day after the fruitful tripartite meeting in Asaba comprising the Commissioner for Health; Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Delta State; and the Association’s Executive.

He said the meeting which held on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 was convened as a follow-up to previous meetings held with officials of the Association to resolve the issues raised in their notice of industrial action.

According to the Commissioner, it was agreed at the meeting that the intended strike action should be suspended until further notice to enable all stakeholders to meet again after the Committee set up to determine seniority of Nurses in the State has submitted its report.

Dr Ononye said the Committee which was to use the cadre of the nurses and nominal roll as criteria for determining the seniority of nurses in the state was given until January 31, 2021 to submit its report with a representative of the Association as a member of the Committee.

Issues tabled and exhaustively discussed at the meeting, according to the Commissioner, included selection of Director of Nursing Services in the Ministry; lateral transfer of 31 Nurses and Midwives from the State Hospital Management Board to the State Ministry of Health; accurate nominal roll and seniority list of Nurses and Midwives in the State, posting of Principals of Schools of Nursing and Midwifery and employment of nurses into the service.

He said It was agreed by all at the meeting that just coming out of the #EndSARS protest, the outbreak of Yellow fever in some Local Government Areas in the State and the on-going Yellow fever mass vaccination campaign, it would not be in the interest of Deltans for the healthcare system of the State to be affected by any disruptive action.

The Commissioner, therefore, expressed worry that the Association has a hidden agenda against the government, as all participants at the meeting left with the belief and understanding that the proposed strike action would be suspended until another meeting is reconvened after submission of the report by the Committee set up on the seniority list.
