The Zamfara Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU), has threatened strike action in Ahmad Sani Bakura Specialist Hospital, Gusau, over non-implementation of promotion arrears of members.
The threat is contained in a letter addressed to the office of the State Head of Service by the unions.
The letter made available to newsmen on Thursday in Gusau is jointly signed by the Chairman and Secretary of JOHESU, Sani Rabi’u and Aminu Abdullahi respectively.
The letter called for immediate action on the arrears in respect of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) Adjustment approved by the state government in June 2024.
“We wish to inform the state government that up to date, we did not see any action taken by the state government.
“We resolved to stage a peaceful protest immediately if the Oct. 2024 salary is paid without implementation and payment of four months outstanding arrears to our members from June to Sept., 2024.
“After the protest, we resolved to give the state government a two-week ultimatum for an indefinite strike and total shutdown of the hospital,” the letter declared.
