Rejig your Cabinet Now, the Masses are Suffering – Civil Society Council urges Tinubu

By Emmanuel Daudu

……….Felicitates with Muslim Faithful on Celebration of Eid al-Adha.

The National Civil Society Council of Nigeria [NCSCN] has issued a statement calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to rejig his cabinet immediately due to the suffering of the masses.

According to the statement signed by its Executive Director, Blessing Akinlosotu on Sunday the 16th of June, 2024, the council expressed concern over the worsening economic conditions faced by Nigerians, including rising inflation, unemployment, and insecurity.

According to the NCSCN, the current cabinet is failing to effectively address these issues and is therefore unable to alleviate the suffering of the people.

The Council believes that a new cabinet, consisting of experienced and competent individuals, is necessary to tackle the numerous challenges facing the country.

The statement further emphasized the need for accountability and transparency in governance. They urged President Tinubu to prioritize the welfare of the Nigerian people and ensure that their interests are adequately represented.

The NCSCN also called on other civil society organizations, as well as grassroots movements and citizens, to join in demanding a cabinet rejig. They believe that collective pressure from various sectors of society is essential to bring about the necessary changes for the betterment of the Nigerian people.

Comrade Akinlosotu equally used the opportunity to extend the Council’s warmest greetings and felicitations to the Muslim faithful on the occasion of this year’s Eid al-Adha.

“This important Islamic festival is a time for reflection, sacrifice, and giving back to the community. The National Civil Society Council of Nigeria, [NCSCN], joins all muslim faithful in celebrating this special day and prays for peace, unity, and prosperity for all Nigerians. May this Eid bring joy, blessings, and happiness to you and your loved ones. Eid Mubarak!”, Akinlosotu stated.

Youth and Interior Ministries Join Forces to Tackle Youth Unemployment in Nigeria

Maryam Aminu

In a strategic move to address the growing challenge of youth unemployment, the Federal Ministry of Youth Development has announced a comprehensive collaboration with the Ministry of Interior.

This initiative, unveiled during a courtesy visit by the Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, to the Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, aims to leverage shared resources and expertise to create sustainable employment opportunities for young Nigerians.

Dr. Ibrahim highlighted that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) has recently approved an expansion of the Youth Investment Fund from N75 billion to N110 billion. This increase is intended to support the Presidential Initiatives on Youth Enterprise Clusters, which will focus on key sectors such as agriculture, digital economy, blue economy, creative economy, extractive economy (mining), and the oil and gas sector.

“Our goal is to establish economic clusters driven by young people,” Dr. Ibrahim said. “This approach is part of our concerted efforts towards achieving a $3 trillion economy, as envisioned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. By integrating young people into these vital sectors, we aim to significantly contribute to the nation’s economic growth.”

Dr. Ibrahim proposed a partnership with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to safeguard these economic clusters, which are viewed as pivotal assets for national prosperity. She emphasized the need for specialized recruitment and training to monitor and protect these clusters, and called for the NSCDC’s expertise in profiling and assessing the young individuals involved.

“We believe the NSCDC’s recommendations will be crucial in fortifying these assets, which have the potential to greatly enhance our economy,” she added. “

“Furthermore, we plan to establish the Young Marshal Volunteers within agencies under the Ministry of Interior to provide mentorship and instill values of service among young people, addressing a critical gap in societal development.”

Hon. Tunji-Ojo affirmed the Ministry of Interior’s commitment to this collaboration, highlighting ongoing efforts to restructure correctional centers to meet international standards. These measures include facility upgrades and improved operational processes to alleviate overcrowding and enhance the rehabilitation environment.

This collaboration marks a significant step towards addressing youth unemployment in Nigeria by fostering inter-ministerial cooperation and harnessing the potential of young Nigerians to drive economic growth and innovation.

Maryam Aminu

The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to establish a youth health advisory team and task force aimed at tackling health and social challenges affecting young people.

This initiative is a collaboration between the Ministry of Youth Development and the Federal Ministry of Health.

Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, the Minister of Youth Development, announced the initiative during a meeting with the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Muhammad Ali Pate, in Abuja.

Dr. Ibrahim highlighted the importance of recognizing the unique challenges faced by Nigeria’s youth, who make up over 70% of the country’s population.

These challenges include mental health issues, limited access to healthcare, drug abuse, and unemployment.

“It is essential for the government at all levels to develop a comprehensive and targeted health policy specifically designed to address these issues and ensure the well-being of the youth population,” Dr. Ibrahim stated.

The youth health advisory team and task force will be composed of highly skilled young Nigerian health professionals. A joint committee from both ministries will oversee the collaboration to ensure its effectiveness.

She added that the initiative is part of a broader public health strategy that includes strengthening national health institutions, expanding vaccine and diagnostic manufacturing, increasing domestic health investment, and enhancing the public health workforce.

Dr. Ibrahim also mentioned Nigeria’s leadership in establishing the Youth Centre for Disease Control in Africa, a proposal made during the 2023 International Youth Conference on Public Health in Zambia, which has now come to fruition in Nigeria.

Dr. Pate expressed strong support for the collaboration, emphasizing the commitment of the Ministry of Health to work closely with the Ministry of Youth Development and other key stakeholders, including the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC). The goal is to build a resilient health institution that prioritizes youth health strategies in Nigeria.
