The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has kicked against the planned privatisation of public healthcare facilities in the country.
This was disclosed by the TUC President, Mr Festus Osifo, while addressing newsmen at the end of union’s National Administrative Council (NAC), Central Working Committee (CWC) and National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the union on Friday in Abuja.
“As TUC, we take a complete exception to this. The NEC of TUC, frowns at this, because the privatisation that was done in the past, where has it led us to.
“Nothing meaningful has ever come out from the previous privatisation processes, especially the power sector,” he said.
The TUC president while speaking on the lingering strike in the university system, called on the Federal Government to place value on education in country.
“TUC as a body is here to protect our national interest. We will do everything possible to ensure that we engage government, and also engage ASUU as well to find an amicable solution.
“You will agree with me that where there is will, there is always a way,” he said.
