YOU ARE WELCOME MR. PRESIDENT!

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria heartily welcomes our dear President, His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari back in the country after his foreign medical trip.

While we appreciate your team of doctors and the hospital where you were treated for their expertise, it is important to say that we should redirect our energy to revitalize our health institutions in order that public officials could be medically taken care of in the country.

At least, it has been proved that Africa is capable of taking care of their presidents, as exemplified by Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa.




We wish the president safe recovery and strength to be able to cope with the demands of his office. We also commend the president for directing that the acting president continues his good works while he takes a deserved rest for accelerated recuperation.
