It Is Troubling That You Are Pouring Money Into Youth Conference Instead Of Lowering Cost Of Living – HURIWA Knocks Tinubu

Meanwhile, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has condemned the 30-day National Youth Conference announced by President Bola Tinubu in his Independence Anniversary broadcast.

The Association claimed that the proposed conference was a wasteful exercise aimed at distracting the youths from Tinubu’s failures.

Speaking via a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA lamented that the government was focusing on a superficial attempt to placate the youths while ignoring the pressing issues at hand.

The group argued that it was a futile gambit aimed at projecting an image of youth inclusion when in reality, the government has failed to tackle the critical issues hindering the progress of Nigerian youths.

The association referred to the conference as “forum shopping,” intended to mask the government’s shortcomings.

“This so-called National Youth Conference is nothing more than a cash-guzzling charade, destined to achieve little to no meaningful outcomes.

“Rather than organizing another talk shop, the government should focus on addressing the urgent challenges that directly impact the lives of Nigerian youths, such as poor infrastructure, economic stagnation, and high unemployment,” HURIWA said.
