UK Afenifere notes N2billion released from N5billion state palliative since September 2023. Afenifere urges immediate distribution of remaining palliatives amidst people’s suffering.

UK Afenifere recognizes economic hardship and suffering in Nigeria. Hardship in Nigeria hinders access to food for Christmas 2023.

Afenifere calls on South-West Governors to empathize and provide palliatives to the poor. Afenifere urges traditional rulers and local government chairmen to assist.

Urgent action needed to support people against rising food costs in Nigeria. Time to alleviate suffering during the season of giving.

Good governance crucial in Nigeria’s current economic and social climate. Nigeria’s poverty status contrasts with its rich resources, requiring change.

Nigeria’s youth and natural resources contrast with widespread hunger and poverty. While some face hardship, others celebrate, highlighting governance issues.

Need to clarify good governance in Nigeria and globally. Governance concept linked to public interest perspectives.

Governance serves as a performance measure for leaders in developing countries. Urgent need for action in the people’s interest.

Current situation deviates from our forefathers’ and Chief Awolowo’s vision. Our forefathers aimed for a prosperous Yoruba people.

South-West Governors expected to uphold and build upon our forefathers’ legacy.
