The strike, which began on July 29, 2025, was originally set to run until August 5. It was launched in response to the government’s failure to meet a 15-day ultimatum issued earlier on July 14.
Nurses in public health institutions across the country had downed tools over poor welfare, unfair allowances, and substandard working conditions. The union had accused the federal government of ignoring repeated calls for improved treatment of nurses in federal hospitals.
Before the suspension, NANNM National Chairman, Morakinyo Rilwan, said the government did not make any serious effort to engage during the negotiation window.
At the time of this report, the full terms of the agreement that led to the suspension of the strike have not been made public.
