The Bayelsa State Chapter of Medical and Health Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MHWUN) has suspended the industrial action embarked upon by its members on Feburary 12.
Chairman of MHWUN, Bayelsa State, Barnabas Simon, on Sunday, said the decision to suspend the strike was taken after a meeting of the State Executives of the union last Friday in Yenagoa.
According to him, the decision is sequel to the approval of the implementation of primary health care workers promotion arrears with effect from March salary.
He said that the union also considered the very essential nature of health services provided by the primary health care workers across the eight council areas of the state in suspending the action to await the implementation of its demands.
