Advocate Urges Job Creation and Cost-of-Living Relief for Nigerians

A human rights advocate has called on the government to tackle unemployment, rising living costs and weak purchasing power, saying many households are struggling to meet basic needs. He said the national minimum wage is insufficient for workers facing rent, school fees, electricity, water and food expenses. He also argued that factories and other productive industries are not creating enough jobs. The advocate urged the government to support industries, create employment opportunities and ensure that economic policies bring measurable relief to workers and low-income families. He added that public officials should be judged by improvements in security, jobs and welfare rather than political messaging.
