According to Obiageli Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, youth unrest in August is a result of economic hardship brought on by government policies.
Oby Ezekwesili stated that political leaders have showed no empathy, despite the fact that the populace held bad governance responsible for the harsh economic hardship.
My Position on the Nationwide Protest of our Young Citizens,” a statement released on Wednesday, was written by Ezekwesili, who urged the government to include the people by tackling economic issues.
All sane people are aware that the majority of our people, particularly the younger generation, are distressed for a variety of reasons, including the severe economic difficulty that the nation is currently experiencing. They seek a stop to it because they attribute it to bad governance.
