Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) & Assembly of HealthCare Professionals (AHP) Issue 15 Days Ultimatum

-
The leadership of the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) & Assembly of HealthCare Professionals (AHP) met on the 4th of april 2016 to review the current situation of things  and consequently appealed to the good office of the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) to set machinery in motion to resolve all pending issues within the next 15 Days.
 
It called on the government to consider that JOHESU leadership had shown enough maturity and restraint and urged that they reciprocate this act of patriotism.
 
In a letter sent to a medicalworld Nigeria dated 4th april 2016 and titled 'Re: Resumption of suspended industrial action by Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHES) and Assemly of Healthcare Professional Associations'; JOHESU referred the governemnt to a letter with Ref.No HQ/MHWUN/ADM/VOL.11/221 of 2nd february 2016 also on the above subject matter, in which a 15 day ultimatum beginning from 3rd of February 2016 was given.
 
You would recall that consequent upon that ultimatum, a committee headed by the late minister of state for labour and employment, late Barr. James Ocholi SAN met with JOHESU leaders on wednesday 17th of February 20016. At that meeting, the committee pleaded that government should be given till 10th of March, 2016 to resolve all the matters in dispute.
 
Again, on the 4th of march 2016, six days to the expiration of the agreed date, the minister of state for labour and employment met again with JOHESU leadership to ask for more time within which the committee would look into the matters holistically and come up with a resolution.
 
It was resolved that a meeting will be held on the 29th of March 2016 after the National council on health meeting would have been concluded and his return from his official trip abroad. Unfortunately, the amiable and sicere minister of state for labour and employment was snatched away from us two days after the meeting on 06/03/2016 by the cold hands of death.

A requiem for Nigeria healthcare.

Dear friends...may i welcome you to this new year..it is my prayer that we shall do more celebrating than complaining. May this year be the year that we start getting things right in this country...may it be a year the FMOH takes the health of nigerians first...not a year of many conferences with little outcome but a year that doctors actually do their work and not go on strikes. a year the fmoh keeps to agreements reached.a year the cmds do right by their staff and dont embezzle hosp funds...may this be a year that the people of nigeria listen to the cry of the doctors and not wash it down as their usual call for pay rise...in as much as a worker deserves his wages, the health system is collapsed and the requiem is about to be conducted.....let me leave today with this piece from Dr Daniel Gbujie. in the coming days we will talk more on the process that led to this requiem. .Going by the current value rate of a Dollar to Naira. Rate it is available today 5th/1/2017 is btw N485 a

It is no longer news that Nigeria Labour Congress( NLC) and the Trade Union Congress(TUC), have given the federal government a  21-day ultimatum to reverse the reinstatement of the embattled medical director ( MD) of the Federal Medical Centre( FMC ) Owerri,Dr (Mrs) Angela Uwakwem . I want to notify Nigerians that it is only the members of Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) in FMC Owerri that are opposing the reinstatement of the MD and that the national president,Mr Ayubba Wabba, of one of the two  factions of the NLC that gave that ultimatum is a member of JOHESU. It was the same JOHESU members that raise a false alarm against the MD when she blocked the loopholes through which they embezzle hospitals funds . I want Nigerians to ask the members of JOHESU why they do not want the reinstatement of the embattled MD. A cursory look at FMC Owerri will show that the presence of the embattled MD is a threat to some unscrupulous workers who live above their incomes . She i
