Peter Obi Blames Leadership for Nigeria's 80 Million Youth Unemployment Crisis

Peter Obi, a presidential candidate of the Labour Party, condemns Nigeria's leadership for the stark failure in addressing the country's youth unemployment crisis, estimated at 80 million jobless youths. He attributes this to poor economic management and political greed, contrasting Nigeria's situation with South Africa's lower youth unemployment rate.
Obi stresses the need for investing in youth as a productive asset and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises for job creation. He calls for genuine leadership that prioritizes empowering young people and creating opportunities for them to contribute to the nation's growth.
