The organised labour has given the Federal Government a 14-day ultimatum to implement the adjusted Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS).
The Technical Committee report on the adjustment of the CONHESS was submitted in 2021.
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) Secretary General, Mr. Nuhu Toro, and the Acting General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr. Benson Upah, made the call in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
The unions demanded the immediate implementation of the report
They said the report, chaired by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, addressed salary distortions in the health sector.
“Health workers have waited long enough for over five years. The Ministry must act without further delay.
“Failure to implement the CONHESS report is a direct affront to organised labour and the hardworking health professionals who sustain the nation,” they stated.
