The Nigeria Medical Association’s (NMA) FCT Chapter has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to address the demands of Nigerians protesting for good governance in the country, News About Nigeria reports.
The chairman of the association, Dr. Charles Ugwuanyi, made the call while speaking to newsmen on Monday.
He appealed to the President to come out and address the issue that led to the protest in clear terms, adding that some of these issues are hunger, occasioned by the cost of food, which is biting Nigerians hard.
He also urged President Bola Tinubu to make the economy friendly so that the citizens will be able to afford the basic necessities.
He added that President Bola Tinubu needs to review the security situation in the country, which, according to him, is seriously affected by so many things.
“We are calling on the president to make the economy friendly so Nigerians will be able to put food on their tables,” he said.
“In recent times, President Tinubu’s desire to rescue the country from so many issues that have bedevilled it has thrown severe hardship on Nigerians.
“In spite of his efforts, hunger and unbearable conditions in many parts of the country persisted, fuelling public discontent.
“The dire economic situation has led many to view protests as a necessary outlet for their frustrations; such action also threatens the national security of the country.
“The government must address the main issue of hunger and the cost of food.
“The president should address all these challenges and other economy-related issues like the cost of fuel that is injecting pain on the people,” he stated.
