The request was made by the Chairman of the Committee on Labour, Employment, and Productivity of the House of Representatives, the Honourable Adegboyega Adefarati, while he was speaking with members of the press in Akure, the capital of the state of Ondo.

In the federal house of representatives, Adefarati is the representative for the Akoko South West/South East constituency.

He voiced concern about the potential severity of negative repercussions that the industrial action could have on ordinary Nigerians, particularly on those who are already struggling with the current economic circumstances in Nigeria.

The lawmaker mentioned that both President Bola Tinubu and the Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abass, who is the Speaker, are well aware of the current situation.

Also, speaking on the doctors' strike, Adefarati emphasized that the President of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) should take into mind the plight of Nigerians while pushing forward with their demands. Adefarati was referring to the fact that the doctors are now on strike.

According to what he said, there is a requirement for an approach that is well-rounded and takes into account both the wellbeing of patients and the wellbeing of medical professionals.

The chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform gave the public his assurance that the government is working hard to address the relevant concerns in a comprehensive manner.
He stated, "My appeal to organised labour is for them to shelve the planned protest that is scheduled to take place on August 2nd."

"I can promise you that despite the fact that this is a new administration, my president is a member of the progressive camp. He appointed the Chief of Staff as the head of the committee that he established, and that group has been meeting with the employees and communicating with them.

As an alternative to engaging in protest, workers should investigate the possibility of negotiating with one another. In order for there to be development, there must first be an industrial environment that is stable and harmonious.

Therefore, we are pleading with them to put the plan on hold till we find out what the conclusion of the meeting will be. I believe that it will be beneficial not only for the country but also for the people who are now employed.I can assure them that the House of Representatives is prepared to provide any feedback that they may require at any time. Any agreement that is achieved will be acted upon in a timely and efficient manner by the House.

"Such as the problem with the palliative care bill. When the measure to spend N500 billion was placed before the House, it was quickly approved since our first objective is to satisfy the needs of the people we represent.

"This government will give careful consideration to the demands that they make. Everyone in Nigeria is familiar with Asiwaju; while he was governor of Lagos State, we were aware of all he accomplished, including what he done with the welfare of employees. I am able to guarantee that by the time the day is done, everyone will be laughing.

The effect of the subsidy will be mitigated in a number of ways thanks to the many initiatives that are currently in the planning stages. If we are being completely honest, subsidies are akin to cancer, and we need to get rid of them.

It's never happened before, yet the three levels of government split up around 1.9 trillion dollars like they did last month. This has never happened before. The subsidy was a con, and the only way to put a stop to it was to get rid of it in the benefit of the people of our country. If there is no suffering, there is no opportunity for growth.

Regarding the matter concerning the National Association of Resident Doctors, I would like to express my gratitude to our Honorable Speaker, Tajudeen Abass. He engaged in conversation with them and then brought their problem to the attention of the President.

"It is better to dialogue and negotiate than to protest because, at the end of the day, it won't do anybody any good. This is why it is preferable to protest. It indicates that the challenges that are already being confronted by the people will become even more severe if they go on strike.

"What we all ought to be worried with, and not condemnation all the way through, is the way forward with the essential remedies.

According to what Adefarati had to say, "I think the direction we ought to be looking is at how social services in the areas of education, transportation, and health can be improved."
