Oyo healthcare workers suspend strike

Healthcare workers in Oyo State, under the aegis of the Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals (NUAHP), have suspended their warning strike.

The health care workers, including laboratory scientists, physiotherapists, dental technologists, dental therapists, medical social workers, radiographers, nutritionists and dietitians, and health records and information managers across all general and specialists teaching hospitals in the state, earlier embarked on a seven-day warning strike over failure of the government to meet their demands over two years.

But NUAHP chairperson, Olanrewaju Ajani, in a statement on Monday, called off the strike and directed all its members to return to work.
