Health workers begin strike mobilisation over 19 months’ allowance arrears
The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals has directed members to prepare for a possible strike because the Federal Government has not paid 19 months of reviewed professional allowance arrears or implemented adjustments to the Consolidated Health Salary Structure. The union issued the directive after a National Executive Council meeting in Enugu, citing broken commitments from a February 2026 terms of settlement and an expired NLC ultimatum.
