The National Association of Government Medical and Dental Practitioners (NAGGMDP) says it is aligning with the position of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on the removal of petrol subsidy
to the federal government to revert to the old price of petrol or face a nationwide protest.
Starson said the union demanded that the government set up “a robust economic team that will establish cushioning measures” before the subsidy is removed. “The national leadership, arising from an emergency national officers committee meeting, deliberated on the above issue and observed the following: That the decision by the federal government to remove fuel subsidy and the subsequent announcement on the inauguration day was hastily done, without proper consultation, effective planning, socioeconomic cushioning and protective measures.
“That, in the face of negative social systems, low minimum wage, with millions of Nigerians living in abject poverty, the dramatic increase in fuel price impinges negatively on the ability of most Nigerians to meet the basic needs, especially food and healthcare.
