NUAHP Suspends UCH Strike for Two Weeks Amid Dispute
The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals (NUAHP) has announced the suspension of its ongoing strike at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan for a period of two weeks, effective from September 22, 2026. This decision was disclosed by the union chairman, Mr Oladayo Olabampe, during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The suspension was communicated in a letter signed by the union's executives and addressed to the Chief Medical Director of UCH, dated September 21, 2026. The intervention by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (FMOHSW) prompted this decision, particularly concerning a dispute involving Dr Adeyinka Ishola, the Director of Pharmaceutical Services.
Olabampe stated that the national secretariat of the union approved the suspension, directing members to resume their duties from the same date. However, he indicated that the suspension is temporary, with expectations for further engagement on the matter during the two-week period.
