Healthcare services across Nigeria face major disruption on Wednesday as nurses, under the umbrella of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, Federal Health Institutions Sector, prepare to embark on a seven-day nationwide warning strike
The strike will affect 74 federal hospitals, other state hospitals and primary healthcare centres.
The industrial action, expected to paralyse services in federal medical centres, teaching hospitals, and specialist institutions, is in protest over issues including poor remuneration, staff shortages, unpaid allowances, and unsafe working conditions.
The union, on July 14, 2025, issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, demanding immediate intervention to prevent a total healthcare shutdown.
The association noted that despite the ultimatum, the Federal Government had not initiated any negotiations.
