The Lagos chapter of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) says it will commence a three-day warning strike from January 10.
According to a statement issued on Friday by Oloruntoba Odumosu, the state secretary of the union, the strike exempts nurses working in federal health institutions in the state.
