The 7-day warning strike which paralysed medical services nationwide began on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.

CDWR’s Coordinator in Oyo State, Comrade Bamigboye Abiodun noted that the strike was justified and long overdue.

Bamigboye said it reflects deep frustration and dissatisfaction of nurses and midwives across the state, who have been forced to take the action after exhausting all peaceful and administrative avenues to address long-standing demands.

In Oyo State, the CDWR, that among the most pressing issues behind the strike was the continued refusal of the state government to implement the new minimum wage for nurses and midwives at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital Ogbomoso.

“This legally mandated improvement in earnings has been unjustifiably delayed for far too long, leaving many health professionals underpaid and demoralised.”

Bamigboye added that shortage of nursing personnel across state-owned health institutions has also placed unbearable strain on the few nurses still in active service.

“The need for the urgent recruitment of qualified nurses cannot be overstated. Without it, the entire healthcare system in Oyo State risks further collapse under the weight of increasing public demands,” said.

He noted other unresolved issues for the ongoing strike to include non-payment of uniform allowances, to all nurses and midwives in the service of Oyo State in line with public service rule.

“This and government’s failure to implement the 25% CONHESS salary increment which is meant to enhanced hazard allowances to nurses and midwives working in local government areas have eroded the income and dignity of nurses.

“Also behind the strike is the denial of lateral conversion and career progression opportunities to nurses who have earned Bachelor’s degree in Nursing Science, an injustice that not only stifles professional growth but also affects service improvement,” he said.

Bamigboye urged civil society organisations such as the Joint Action Front (JAF), as well as activists and socialists across the state, to lend their voices and support to this NANNM ongoing strike.

It added that the success of the nurses’ strike would not only benefit healthcare professionals but also millions of ordinary citizens who depend on public healthcare services.
