The FCT chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has urged President Bola Tinubu to address issues that led to nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests.
The chairman of the association, Charles Ugwuanyi, made the call in an interview on Monday.
According to him, the issue that led to the protest is hunger, occasioned by food costs that are biting Nigerians hard.
”We are calling on the president to make the economy friendly so the Nigerian will be able to put food on their table,” he said.
He also urged Tinubu to review the security situation in the country, which he said was seriously affected so many things.
“In recent times, President Tinubu’s desire to rescue the country from so many issues that have bedevilled it had thrown severe hardship on Nigerians.
“In spite of his efforts, the hunger and unbearable conditions in many parts of the country persisted, fueling 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,” he said.
Mr Ugwuanyi said Nigerians were hungry and the government should wake up to their responsibility and rescue the country.
”Government must address the main issue of hunger and cost of food.
“The president should address all these challenges and other economy-related issues like the cost of fuel that is injecting pains on the people,” Mr Ugwuanyi said.
