Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has issued a stark warning about the escalating hunger crisis in Nigeria, suggesting that the nation's youth may be driven toward revolutionary actions if their hardships continue unabated.
Addressing a gathering in Abeokuta, Obasanjo highlighted the severe challenges faced by Nigerian youths, including widespread hunger and unemployment.
He emphasized that the growing frustration among the younger population could lead to social unrest if not urgently addressed.
The former president urged current leaders to implement comprehensive policies aimed at alleviating poverty and creating job opportunities.
He stressed that proactive measures are essential to prevent potential upheavals and to ensure the nation's stability.
Obasanjo has been a vocal advocate for socio-economic reforms in Nigeria. His recent comments add to a series of cautions about the nation's trajectory concerning youth welfare and employment.
As of now, there has been no official response from the federal government regarding Obasanjo's remarks. However, the administration has previously outlined various programs targeting youth empowerment and poverty reduction.
