The FCT Chapter of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has urged President Bola Tinubu to address issues which led to the nationwide protest.
The association’s chairman, Charles Ugwuanyi, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday.
According to him, the issue that led to the protest is hunger, occasioned by the cost of food that is 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 Mr Tinubu to review the security situation in the country, which he said was seriously affected by so many things.
“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, the hunger and unbearable conditions in many parts of the country persisted, fueling public discontent.
