The Assembly of Health Care Professionals in Katsina State has issued a 21-day ultimatum to the state government to address their welfare and professional demands. The ultimatum, which took effect on August 11, 2026, was issued after multiple engagements with the government failed to produce progress. The health workers are demanding the immediate implementation of 100 per cent Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS), an upward review of hazard, call duty, shift, clinical and non-clinical, rural and specialist allowances, and an increase in nurses' uniform allowance to N80,000.
The Assembly, comprising several professional organizations, remains hopeful that the Dikko Umaru Radda administration will respond positively to their demands to avoid a disruption of healthcare services in the state.
