NANNM to Begin 7-Day Warning Strike Over Unmet Demands

The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has announced plans to commence a seven-day warning strike starting Tuesday, July 29, 2025. The decision follows the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government regarding a review of health workers’ allowances.

In a circular signed by NANNM’s 2nd National Vice President, Orolu Sesan, and Deputy General Secretary, Elder Otaru Daniel Shaibu, the association directed state councils to mobilize members and prepare for the industrial action if the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare fails to respond.

State branches are expected to hold preparatory meetings on Monday, July 28. The strike will proceed as scheduled unless the government meets the association's demands.
