Address hardship to deter crime, group urges FG

A Niger Delta group, Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta, has called on the Federal Government to tackle the prevailing hardship in the country to prevent citizens from resorting to crime as a means of survival.

There had been protests by some Nigerians over the harsh impact of the economy in Kano, Niger, Osun, and Oyo states, among others.

Some warehouses and trucks conveying foodstuffs were also attacked by some residents who carted away food items.

But speaking during the inauguration of the board of partners for peace in the Niger Delta, an initiative of PIND in Abuja, the group’s Executive Director, Tunji Idowu, stated that the situation was worrying, and called on the government to urgently address the hardship.

Idowu, who was inaugurated as the chairman of the board, said, “The current hardship being experienced across Nigeria is worrying.  The FG must find a lasting solution to it urgently.

“People will ordinarily resort to crimes if they cannot find ways to improve their livelihoods or sustain what they already have. The FG should collaborate with development partners to address the issue.

“The government and development partners should stretch available resources and get rid of redundancy as well as duplication to make life easier and meaningful for citizens.”
