N8,000 Can Transform a Youth’s Future – Shettima
In a time of soaring living costs in Nigeria, Vice President Kashim Shettima’s claim that “N8,000 can change a youth’s life” has drawn significant criticism.
This amount, less than $10, is seen as inadequate given the current high inflation and the rising prices of essentials.
Such a statement reflects a profound disconnect between the leadership and the daily struggles of ordinary Nigerians.
N8,000 barely covers basic expenses and does not address the deeper issues such as unemployment, poor education, and lack of infrastructure.
This comment suggests a lack of understanding of the severe economic challenges faced by Nigerian youths and raises concerns about the government’s commitment to meaningful reform.
Effective change requires more than symbolic gestures; it demands substantial policy efforts focused on job creation, education, and infrastructure. Leaders must acknowledge these systemic issues and engage in creating genuine solutions.
The backlash against Shettima’s remark highlights the urgent need for policies that truly support the youth and address their real needs, rather than offering inadequate solutions that fail to recognize their struggles.
Teachers in FCT government schools have started an indefinite strike over the non-payment of 60% of owed arrears by the Area Councils. This strike follows a 14-day ultimatum from the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and continues previous actions demanding overdue payments and allowances.
The NUT, led by Abdullahi Shafa, resumed the strike after the councils failed to meet their financial obligations. The strike will persist until the councils address demands for the remaining wage arrears, salary increases, and allowances. Parents are advised to keep their children at home, and teachers are instructed to follow union directives. Efforts to reach officials for comment were unsuccessful.
