The Ministry of Labour and Employment has drawn the attention of the public to reports and insinuations that the Federal Government has suspended collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with stakeholders in the health sector until after 2027.
The Ministry in a statement by Head, Press and Public Relations Annah Daniel describes such reports as misleading, unfounded, and do not reflect the position or commitment of the renewed hope agenda of the President Bola Tinubu administration toward workers’
welfare and industrial harmony within the health sector.
It notes that the government remains committed to constructive engagement, continuous dialogue, and responsible negotiations with all health sector unions and professional bodies in line with established labour laws and international best practices.
That, discussions and consultations with relevant unions are ongoing and will continue in good faith towards mutual beneficial outcomes, emphasizing the current administration recognizes the invaluable contributions of the healthcare professionals to national development and public health service delivery.
