Former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has said Nigerian youths are feeling frustrated because they are struggling to get good jobs or live a good life.
Adesina said the drop in Nigeria’s social and economic
situation was due to poor leadership.
The former presidential spokesman made the comment while
speaking at the first annual public lecture hosted by the Foursquare Gospel
Church, Aba Ibeji, which had the title “Nigeria’s Kinetics: How Long?”
The event took place at Mauve 21 in Oluyole Local Government
Area of Oyo State.
Adesina said Nigeria has the resources it needs to progress,
even though it is confronted with a leadership crisis.
He said: “Nigeria has all the things it needs to progress.
It has a big young population, lots of natural resources, fertile land, and a
good location geographically.
“Nigeria is endowed with both human and natural resources
but unfortunately it has not translated to wealth.
“These have prevented the country from reaching its full
potential. Many young Nigerians are frustrated because they cannot find good
jobs or enjoy a better quality of life.”
Adesina charged Nigerian leaders to make sure their actions
match their words so that citizens can enjoy the benefits of the country’s
resources.
