Strike: Group urges FG to address health workers’ demands for masses’ interests

The Network of Adamawa Non Governmental Organisation (NANGO) has appealed to the Federal Government to negotiate with the  Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) to call off  their  strike in the interest of the masses.

Mr Peter Egwudah, the Chairman of the network, made the plea in an interview with Newsmen on Friday in Yola.

Egwudah said that the strike was not good for the ordinary citizens and the economy of the country as  a whole.

“I am seizing  this opportunity to appeal to the Federal Government to  look into the matter in the interest of the masses.

“The government should address this by finding a strategy to meet the demands  it can for now, while it  works on  the other issues that  cannot be met  immediately.

“Strikes have a way of taking us back to uproot all the achievements we  had reached in terms of healthcare delivery”, he said.

According to him, the strike is currently impacting negatively on the poor people across the states of the federation,hence, the need for the Federal Government  and the unions to seat at  a roundtable.

The Chairman called on Nigerians to pray for the  improvement of the country’s economy,  so as to record  more developments.
