Zamfara Nurses on Indefinite Strike Over Salary Discrimination

Nurses in Zamfara State have commenced an indefinite strike due to alleged discriminatory salary practices by the state government. The Coalition of Nurses accused the government of excluding nursing professionals from salary benefits approved for other health workers.

The strike, which began after the government ignored appeals, poses a significant risk to healthcare services in the state. The coalition has demanded urgent action within 24 hours, warning of a total collapse of healthcare services if their grievances are not addressed promptly.
