NGThe Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) and the Assembly of Healthcare Professionals (AHPA) have called on Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently implement the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) adjustment and establish the Boards of Management for Federal Health Institutions (FHIs). These requests stem from a February 15, 2026, agreement that ended an 84-day nationwide strike by health workers. The unions argue that delays in fulfilling these commitments risk undermining healthcare delivery, causing industrial unrest, and weakening institutional governance. They highlighted that while other sectors like education and aviation have established management boards, the health sector remains without them, leading to inefficiencies and disruptions in critical functions such as accreditation and disciplinary actions. JOHESU emphasized the need for swift action to address these issues before the upcoming 2027 general elections.
