Renowned Nigerian female social activist, Aisha Yesufu, has linked the current economic meltdown Nigerians are experiencing to a patient undergoing surgery.
However, many Nigerians have been experiencing hardship since the increase in fuel prices and forex.
The prices of essential commodities and transportation have also skyrocketed, leaving many at the mercy of others or begging for alms to survive.
Many political elites have also called on President Bola Tinubu to address the current issue with immediate effect to avoid impending disaster.
However, Tinubu has said his policies on fuel subsidy removal and foreign exchange have started yielding positive results.
According to the President, the Federal Government has already received support and commendations from the global communities over those policies.
The president, who was represented by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, made this known at the weekend at a Gala/Award Night event organised by the office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF).
He admitted that the policies had caused the masses much suffering but promised succour would come to them very soon.
Reacting to the series of development, Aisha Yesufu, in a post via Twitter, said what is currently happening in Nigeria today is similar to a patient undergoing surgery without anaesthesia.
According to her, the patient might probably die from the shock of pain before the doctor gets to solve the problem area.
She tweeted: “Imagine you want to operate on a patient and you do it without anaesthesia. The person might even die from the shock of the pain before you get to the problem area.
“That is what is happening in Nigeria today”
