The industrial action embarked upon by the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives has been called off.
Minister of Health, Ali Pate after a closed-door meeting on Friday, Pate said the decision followed agreements reached with the leadership of the nursing association.
However, the leaders of the union declined speaking on the matter after the closed-door meeting on Friday afternoon.
Nurses and midwives under the association had commenced a warning strike on July 29, 2025, following what the union described as the government’s failure to respond meaningfully to its 15-day ultimatum issued on July 14, 2025.
The warning strike involving nurses in public health institutions across the country is expected to continue till August 5, 2025.
The union had demanded improved welfare, fair allowances, and better working conditions for nurses across federal health institutions.
