NAFDAC workers suspend six-week-old strike

The six-week-old strike embarked upon by the health workers at the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has been suspended.

The workers are members of the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN).

The Vice-Chairman of the union, Idzi Isua, who confirmed the development during the union’s congress on Monday morning, said the union resolved to suspend the strike following an agreement entered with the management.

The union embarked on strike on 21 June, 2022, to protest, among other things, poor welfare packages and unpaid promotion arrears.
