It was exactly seven years on May 29, since the prominent civil society leaders, Professor Abubakar Momoh passed away. Coincidentally,
the date tallies with the one-year anniversary of the current administration.The Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education used the occasion to reflect on the remarkable contributions of the late Professor, renowned for his exceptional scholarship and activism. He also dedicated his life to advancing Nigeria’s democracy.
The Executive Director of CHRICED, Comrade Ibrahim M. Zikirullahi, who described the late activist as a staunch advocate against corruption, injustice, and poor governance, said he worked tirelessly to foster a more transparent and accountable society. Zikirullahi said amidst the backdrop of the removal of fuel subsidies, a move purported to bolster the government’s financial standing; the stark reality for ordinary citizens is one of unprecedented hardship.“This policy, hastily executed and lacking in foresight, has only exacerbated the plight of the masses. While the government claims financial buoyancy, it seems that prosperity is confined to the political class alone, with the majority of citizens sinking deeper into abject poverty.
“The National Assembly seems to have lost its way. Instead of addressing the pressing issues of corruption, insecurity, unemployment, and other important matters plaguing the system, they have become fixated on trivial debates about the relevance of the old and new national anthem.
