The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals has instructed its nationwide members to begin arrangements for a potential strike due to the federal government's failure to implement salary adjustments and pay overdue allowances. The union also called for the immediate payment of 19 months' arrears of reviewed professional allowances and the implementation of the new Consolidated Health Salary Structure.
The decision comes after the expiration of a two-week ultimatum given by the Nigeria Labour Congress, backed by the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, on October 23. The union claims that delays in implementing the Joint Health Sector Unions' commitments under a 2026 terms of settlement have led to the ongoing situation.
