The Federal Government last night reached a truce with aggrieved health workers under the umbrella of the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) an assembly of healthcare professions.
A statement issued by Charles Akpan, Deputy Director, Press, in the Ministry of Labour and Employment said that an understanding was reached by both parties after a conciliation meeting at the office of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige.
Recall that JOHESU had earlier issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to meet their demands or face strike.
But, briefing journalists after the meeting which lasted about five hours, Ngige said they held fruitful discussions, assuring that the Memorandum of Understanding would be signed next week .
