The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) has called off its nationwide strike, ending an industrial action that kept public health services disrupted for 84 days.
Union leaders reached the decision on Friday after an expanded emergency meeting of the national executive council (NEC) in Abuja. They met to assess the outcome of Thursday’s conciliation talks with the federal government at the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.
JOHESU launched the indefinite strike on November 15, 2025, accusing the federal government of repeatedly failing to implement the adjusted Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) and neglecting long-standing welfare and systemic concerns in the health sector.
