The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has opposed moves by the federal government to privatise or commercialise the services of tertiary health institutions in the country.
The union stated this during its national executive council meeting in Lagos, where they 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.
