About 10 hours after the commencement of its three-day warning strike, the Lagos State council of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has announced the suspension of the industrial action.
The chairman of the association, Olurotimi Awojide, who announced the decision in a video obtained by newsmen, said it was the decision of the deliberation at an emergency congress meeting of the union which held at its secretariat Amara-Olu Street on Agidingbi Road in Ikeja on Monday.
The congress, which was scheduled to hold by 12 noon, could not commence until around 4 p.m. as a result of the union’s request for documentary evidence.
The union, however, said the details of the agreement entered with the government will be released soon.
The new development followed a two-hour meeting on Sunday between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the leadership of the nurses’ union at the statehouse.
