In a recent development, health workers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) took to the streets of Abuja on Wednesday to protest and issued a stern warning of an impending indefinite strike starting at midnight if their demands are not met by the federal government.

The protesting workers, organized under the Joint Health Workers’ Union, have put forward several key demands.
They are calling for the payment of hazard allowance, similar to what has been granted to workers under the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure.

They are also seeking an adjustment in the Consolidated Health Salary Structure to address wage discrepancies and eliminate discrimination within the health industry.
The specific details and extent of their grievances will be provided in subsequent updates.

Further updates will follow as more information becomes available regarding the ongoing protest and the government’s response to the demands put forth by the Joint Health Workers’ Union.
