Nigerian nurses suspend nationwide strike

By Matthew Atungwu

The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, NANNM, has suspended the nationwide strike it commenced on July 29, 2025.

The Minister of Health, Ali Pate, made this known while addressing newsmen after a closed-door meeting on Friday.

Pate said the decision followed agreements reached with the leadership of the nursing association.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the union declined to speak on the matter after the closed-door meeting on Friday afternoon.

DAILY POST recalls that the nurses embarked on the industrial action following what the union described as the government’s failure to respond meaningfully to its 15-day ultimatum issued on July 14, 2025.

The warning strike involving nurses in public health institutions across the country was slated to continue till August 5, 2025.
