The union, which draws its membership mostly from primary health centres, began an indefinite industrial action on Friday over non-payment of 15 months’ salary arrears.
The MHWUN Chairman, Mr Barnabas Simon, who gave an update on the strike on Saturday, said the union embarked on the strike as the last option following the expiration of earlier deadlines and fruitless meetings with government officials.
He explained that the arrears owed to the union members ranged from two to 15 months.
Simon expressed displeasure over many unresolved issues by the government as it affects primary health care workers in the state, adding that after several talks, none of their demands has been met.

ABOUT 560,000 school age children in Nasarawa State have been affected with schistosomiasis diseases across the 13 local government areas and 18 development areas in the state.
Schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever and bilharzia, is a disease caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes. The urinary tract or the intestines may be infected. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, or blood in the urine.
This was revealed on Tuesday by the state Commissioner for Health, Ahmed Baba-Yahaya, during a press briefing to mark 2021 World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day in the state.
He said the state government was mindful of its neighbours who were still struggling to prevent such diseases, expressing fear that the risk of re-infecting the state was high due to the inability of Benue, Kogi, Taraba, Kaduna states and the Federal Capital Territory to tackle the dreaded diseases.
