Health workers protest in FMC Yenagoa

The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) and Assembly of Health Professionals of Nigeria (AHPN) on Tuesday staged a protest over the non-adjustment of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS).

 

The unions held the protest at the premises of Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Yenagoa following directives from the national body after embarking on an indefinite strike in 2025.

 

JOHESU had embarked on an indefinite nationwide strike on Nov. 15, 2025 over the non-adjustment of CONHESS and other welfare issues.

 

 

Speaking, the state Chairman, JOHESU FMC, Mr Celestine Onoyina, said that in 2021 an inter-ministerial committee was set up to adjust CONHESS and all work and report were completed in 2023.

 

Onoyina said that the Ministry of Health acknowledged the report and wrote to the Ministry of Budget for implementation.

 

‘’However, along the line, the Federal Government of Nigeria stopped the implementation of CONHESS, which agreement has already been reached and signed.

 

‘’The struggle for the CONHESS adjustment started since 2014 and for more than 10 years now the government is still adamant about it.

 

“We are here with the circular from the Ministry of Health to the Director General of Budget, tell them about CONHESS that has already been implemented, ‘’ he said.

 

Onoyino said that the strike would continue until their demand to implement the CONHESS was met.

 

“We want to use this opportunity to thank our national body for standing by us

 and not betraying us.
