The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) and the Assembly of Healthcare Professionals (AHPA) have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to promptly implement the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) adjustment and inaugurate the Boards of Management for Federal Health Institutions (FHIs). They emphasized that the delay in fulfilling these commitments, part of a February 2026 agreement, could lead to industrial unrest and negatively impact healthcare delivery. The unions highlighted that the absence of governing boards has weakened oversight and accountability in the health sector, causing operational challenges for Federal Health Institutions. They also urged the government to resume negotiations on the Health Sector Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The unions stressed the need for immediate action to prevent further institutional weaknesses and to ensure effective governance in the health sector before the upcoming 2027 general elections.
