By Eromosele Ebhomele & Lois Okereke

A non-governmental organization, Network of Adolescents and Youths of Africa, has decried the insincerity in the application of beneficial policies by Nigerian leaders.

Officials of the organization spoke with P.M.News when they paid a courtesy visit to the organization. According to them: “Nobody wants to end bad, but some people must definitely end bad because our parents and the government have failed us,” they said.

The group’s National Co-ordinator, Titilola Bello Omowunmi, told P.M.News that most of the nation’s leaders often renege on their promises to the people. “There are a lot of policies which our leaders have signed both nationally and internationally in areas of education and health.

“We are not saying that the government should not do anything else, but it should execute the ones it had promised the people,” she said.

Omowunmi explained that she was part of the committee which recommended that the Federal Government should build youth-friendly health centres in all the local government areas of the federation. “Up till now, we have not seen anything like that,” she stated.
