Eniola Akinkuotu, AbujaThe Joint Health Sector Unions have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately sack the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, for failing to resolve the crisis that led to its one-month-old strike. JOHESU accused Adewole of taking sides with the doctors, who had also threatened to go on strike should the Federal Government accede to JOHESU’s request. The Chairman of JOHESU, Biobelemoye Josiah, told journalists at a conference in Abuja on Thursday that should the Federal Government go to court, it would pull out of the negotiation. The JOHESU leader stressed that as a medical doctor, the labour minister had also been compromised. Similarly, the Deputy Director, Media, at the ministry, Mr. Olajide Oshundun, did not respond to calls.
