‎Millions of Nigerians trapped in poverty – Gov Makinde

‎

‎Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has said millions of Nigerians remain trapped in poverty and are unable to experience meaningful improvements in their lives despite working hard.

‎

‎Makinde made the remark while noting that Nigeria’s problems are bigger than those occupying public offices.

‎

‎In his newsletter, the governor also expressed concern that insecurity continues to affect the lives of Nigerians.

‎

‎Makinde said, “Over the years, we have changed governments, introduced new policies, and promised ourselves new starts. Yet, for millions of Nigerians, the basic results have stayed mostly the same

‎“Too many of our people are still stuck in poverty. Many families put in a lot of effort but still don’t see real improvements in their lives.

‎

‎“Too many young people in Nigeria can’t see a clear way to go from school to better chances in life.

‎

‎“People are still struggling because of insecurity, and many organizations meant to help them are not working properly.

‎

‎“This shows that Nigeria’s problem is larger than just the people holding government positions at any given moment.

‎

‎“We need to look at the systems, rules, and ways things are set up that keep on creating results that don’t help most of our people.”
