The Federal Government will on Thursday meet with the striking Joint Health Sector Union as part of efforts to find lasting solution.
Recall that the unions had met with the government last Thursday, but the meeting ended in a deadlock.
Members of the union embarked on an indefinite strike last Thursday to press home their demands.
But in an announcement on Thursday, the National Vice-chairman of JOHESU, Dr Obinna Ogbonna, disclosed that a meeting has been scheduled to further discussed on how to end the lingering strike.
“We will be meeting with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment today (Thursday) by 12 pm. The permanent secretary of the ministry will take charge because that is the hierarchy of power when the minister is not available.
“All our executive members will be there at the meeting and the Federal Ministry of Health will be there so that we will present the matter. The Ministry of Labour is acting as the conciliator.”
