The National Executive Council of the Trade Union
Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has opposed moves by the federal government to
privatise the services of tertiary health institutions in the country.
The TUC stated this in Lagos, during
its national executive council meeting, The union also said the introduction of
such a policy will undoubtedly remove healthcare services from the reach of the
common man in Nigeria.
A communiqué signed by the
union's President, Comrade Bala Kaigama and Secretary-General, Barrister
Muhammad Lawal, implored the federal government to urgently address the issue
of improving the standard of healthcare in Nigeria.
The NEC-in-session expressed
dismay over the unhealthy industrial spirit of some employers, particularly the
indiscriminate disengagement of workers for being members of trade unions,
despite intervention by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity.
