Faniran said, “Dear all, kindly to the
outcome of the last JOHESU ledaesr
eetung, which wa held on Thursday, April
23 at Abuja as follow-up to the earlier
meeting of April 14, whwere a decision
was taken to request an audience to see
Mr President for immediate
implementation of our 15-point demands
as promised by Mr. President to the
union’s leadership when he met us on
February 1.
“Since there was no response, it was
further resolved that a reminder be sent
to Mr President to meet our demands on
or before April 30. Should this fail, the
leaders shall meet May 1 and declare a
nationwide industrial strike with effect
