The Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government-Owned Companies (SSASCGOC) has tasked President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to evolve pragmatic approaches to solve Nigeria’s social, economic, and political challenges by engaging all stakeholders on all issues of national interest.
In a communiqué issued and signed by its President-General, Comrade Kayode Surajudeen Alakija, at the end of its National Executive Council meeting held in Jos, Plateau State, the Association urged the president to use his good office as the Chairman of ECOWAS to continue to explore the option of dialogue and diplomatic engagement in resolving the recent crisis in the Niger Republic.
It further implored the Economic Communities of West African States (ECOWAS) to do everything possible to avoid going to war with the Niger Republic coupists, as it would have a negative impact on the ECOWAS communities.
On the prevailing economic crunch in the country, SSASCGOC called on the Federal Government to come up with palliative measures that will cushion the effect of the hardship on Nigerian Workers and the citizens, adding that Nigerian Workers’ wages should be increased immediately to reflect current realities.
The communiqué enjoined the Federal Government to look into the economic matters bedeviling the country, especially as they affect Nigerian workers.
“The rising inflation in the country is becoming alarming; hence, meeting the needs of a common man is becoming practically impossible. Urgent steps need to be taken to rescue the citizens, especially Nigerian workers.”
It condemned, however, the rising cases of insecurity like banditry, communal clashes, and IPOB killings in the South East. and called on both the Federal, State, and Local Governments to put more effort into bringing an end to the unnecessary killings and also bring out programs that will create jobs and employment opportunities for teeming Nigerian youths.
SSASCGOC also expressed solidarity with the National Sugar Development Council (NSDC) that the Federal Executive Council approved the second phase of the Nigeria Sugar Master Plan (NSMP), whose implementation will run through 2033.
“Therefore, I appeal to the Federal Government to support and ensure strict compliance by engaging relevant stakeholders, including MDAs; and collaborate between NSDC and Backward Integration Program (BIP) Operators. Also, the Federal Government should empower NSDC for effective implementation of the strategic plan.”
