The union decided to halt the strike following a strong and committed response from the government, including the Secretary to the State Government, the Head of Service, and the Commissioner for Health, resulting in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

“We resolved to suspend the five-day warning strike to allow for further negotiations and to give the government time to fulfill its commitments under the MoU,” the statement said.

Yahaya noted that the strike, which began on July 8, 2024, to demand better welfare benefits, had achieved significant impact with full compliance from members.

Ishaku commended the determination, persistence, and overwhelming support of the union members.

“Therefore, the strike is hereby suspended, and you are expected to resume your normal duties on July 10, 2024.

“The State Administrative Council sincerely appreciates your massive support and determination in making this struggle for better welfare a success.

“We assure you of our commitment to representing you effectively and without fear or favour. Remember, this is a suspension, meaning if the promises are not kept, we shall resume industrial action at the appropriate time,” he emphasized.
