As a follow-up to his mediation between the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) and the Federal Government, President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, is set to meet with the leadership of JOHESU on Monday.
The meeting is scheduled to hold at 3 p.m. in Saraki’s office at the Senate.
Last week, Saraki began mediating in the ongoing strike embarked upon over a month ago.
The strike has crippled Nigeria’s healthcare facilities in the country.

Saraki also met with the Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige and the Minister of Health, Professor Issac Adewole, on Friday.
Since the discussions initiated by the Senate President, it is believed that government has improved on its offers to the striking health workers.
“If it is true that government has improved on its offers to JOHESU, it will be desirable for the health workers to also stretch out a hand of fellowship — in good faith — to meet the government mid-way and accept the offer, so that we can finally resolve this matter and have a win-win situation for the union, the government and the Nigerian people who make use of our public health institutions,” Saraki said.
