Dear Mr. President
It is with a heavy heart
that I sit down to write Your Eminence. As a conscious, patriotic and
progressive youth, I could not help but register my dissatisfaction with my
country’s plight alongside a volley of plea to your administration to rescue
this dire situation. Excuse the curtness of my manners. The intensity of my
pain has almost robbed me entirely of formality. My passionate plea is not for
a personal gain but for a revision of government’s position on issues of
health, poverty and education, the individual components forming the fulcrum
around which our collective development and glory as a nation revolve.
Sir, I read the
disapproving remarks you made at the 58th general conference of the Nigeria
Medial Association (NMA) concerning the unpleasant effects of various strike
actions embarked upon by the country’s health professionals on the nation’s
health. With a commensurate level of concern – and perhaps more, I have found
myself under the onus of speaking on this trend with a view to achieving an impressive
turn in events.
