The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has called on the government to prioritize citizen welfare, create job opportunities, enhance social welfare programs, and provide essential services to the needy.  

In a press statement issued on July 16, 2024, AYCF President General Yerima Shettima urged the government to take immediate action to address the grievances of Nigerian citizens, particularly the youth.

The statement highlighted the escalating frustration and anger among Nigerians due to economic hardships, widespread poverty, unemployment, lack of basic amenities, and rising insecurity. 

Shettima emphasized the need for constructive dialogue and engagement with the government to seek sustainable solutions, cautioning against violent protests that could further aggravate the situation.

The organization also urged comprehensive reforms across economic, social, and security sectors to foster an environment conducive to growth and development.

Shettima appealed to Nigerians to maintain calm and composure, urging unity in addressing the challenges facing the nation. The AYCF reiterated its commitment to advocating for the welfare and development of Nigerian youths, promoting socio-economic development, political engagement, and a peaceful, prosperous nation for future generations.

This press statement comes as Nigeria grapples with economic and social challenges, and the youth are increasingly frustrated with the government's response.

The AYCF's call for peaceful engagement and government action echoes the sentiments of many Nigerians, who are seeking a better future for themselves and their country.
