The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives has stated that its members will be embarking on a nationwide protest over the cost of living crisis in the country, News About Nigeria reports.
The NANNM Secretariat disclosed this in a circular signed by its Deputy General Secretary and Acting Head of Department, Industrial Relations, Otaru Shaibu, on Wednesday.
The protest is scheduled to take place on the 27th and 28th of February.
The NANNM also urged its members to comply with the directive to make the protest rally a huge success.
“The attention of all members of the NAC and NEC is hereby drawn to the above subject matter. The Nigeria Labour Congress has scheduled a nationwide protest rally, and all workers have been directed by the national leadership of the congress to embark on the protest, billed for February 27th and 28th, 2024.
“All state councils of the association are hereby enjoined to comply with the directive to make the protest rally a huge success.
“Kindly mobilise our members in line with this directive. The NLC letter conveying this directive is hereby attached for your necessary action,” the circular reads in part.
News About Nigeria reported on February 16, that the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) declared a two-day protest that would begin after the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum it issued to the federal government, which will expire on February 22.
This is following the alleged failure of the government to implement the agreements reached on October 2, 2023, following the removal of the fuel subsidy.
