The West African Health Sector Union's Network (WAHSUN) has called for an end to lingering insurgency in Nigeria that climaxed with the abduction of over 200 teenage school girls at Chibok, Borno State recently. 

The group made the call in a communique issued and signed by Comrade Marcus Omokhuale and Comrade Abu Kuntulo, Secretary General, Medical and Health Services Workers Union of Ghana, respectively at the end of its 1st quadrennial subregional conference held in Abuja, at the weekendA part of the communique reads: Insecurity in Nigeria with regard to the operation of sectarian groups has hardly abated despite a state of emergency in three states of emergency in three states in the north eastern region. This situation puts health workers and working people in general at risk, and has to be curtailed. The horrifying abduction of over 200 teenage girls who are final yerar high schoold students in Borno state is symptomatic of the anomie that the country might be descending into, in the wake of the rising terror

"The Conference-in-session expressed grave concern on the worsening state of insecurity in Nigeria.The continued rampage of sectarian insurgents despite the state of emergency in some states of emergency in some states of emergency in some state of the federation points towards deeper socio-economic root of the spiraling violence in the land. 

Conference-in-session calls on the federal government to decisively address the immediate and remote causes of the rising insurgency. In particular at this point in time, WAHSUN demands that every single one of the over 200 girls abducted in Chibok, Borno state be liberated and reunited with their familes
