Youths urge Tinubu to tackle hardship, warn inaction may trigger crises

The group of youths emphasised that despite efforts, hardship still persists.

Chukwu expressed confidence in Nigerian youths to excel beyond their predecessors, acknowledging their forerunners’ achievements in securing independence. He commended President Tinubu’s efforts to alleviate hardship, particularly among young people, through programmes and minimum wage increases.
