ADAMAWA WAREHOUSE LOOTING HIGHLIGHTS THE BOILING FRUSTRATION OF THE MASSES

Nigeria's Rising Hunger and Adamawa Looting: A Stern Call for Government Intervention - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji 
Introduction:
Recent events in Adamawa State have highlighted the deteriorating law and order situation due to the desperate plight faced by many Nigerians. The looting of warehouses and shops in search of "palliatives" signifies a breaking point for the masses, as hunger looms large and patience wears thin. It is high time for the government, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, state governors, and elected representatives, to acknowledge the severe hardships and take immediate action to curb such incidents in the future. Additionally, effective measures need to be implemented to alleviate the suffering of the people and restore faith in governance.

Background:
The looting spree that took place in Adamawa State is no doubt criminal and condemnable. However, it serves as a wake-up call for the government to address the underlying issues that prompted such actions. The cost of living has surged, leaving the poor with empty stomachs and no refuge from the cruel grip of hunger. The situation might further deteriorate if similar incidents start unfolding in other states.
The Government's Role and Responsibilities:
The Nigerian government must recognize its responsibility to ensure the welfare and well-being of its citizens. It is imperative that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, state governors, and elected representatives fulfill their duty to take immediate action and mitigate the increasing hardships faced by the Nigerian population.
Addressing Price Inflation and Subsidies:
The removal of subsidies has burdened the people with soaring prices across all essential commodities. The promised palliatives to cushion the impact of subsidy removals have failed to materialize, leading to an outcry that the government is turning a blind eye to the sufferings of its citizens. Urgent steps need to be taken to address this issue, such as implementing policies to ease the burden on the masses and to stabilize prices.

Job Creation and Economic Empowerment:
Unemployment and underemployment are severe problems in Nigeria, exacerbating the already dire situation. The government should prioritize job creation and promote economic empowerment schemes to provide sustainable livelihoods for its citizens. This can be achieved through investment in crucial sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and infrastructure development, which will stimulate economic growth and enhance the purchasing power of the people.

Enhancing Social Welfare Programs:
To alleviate the sufferings of the people, the government should strengthen and expand existing social welfare programs. This includes improving access to quality healthcare, providing affordable housing, and enhancing education opportunities. A focus on vulnerable groups, such as children, women, and the elderly, is crucial to ensure that no one is left behind.
Conclusion:
Nigeria is at a critical juncture, with the recent events in Adamawa State highlighting the boiling frustration of the masses. The government must understand the urgency of the situation and take immediate action to address the increasing hardships faced by its citizens. This requires an honest assessment of policies, including the reinstatement of palliatives, addressing price inflation, job creation, and enhancing social welfare programs. Failure to act swiftly risks further social unrest and economic instability. The time to act is now, before similar incidents spread to other states, plunging the nation into deeper turmoil.

A MASTERCLASS IN GOVERNANCE: CELEBRATING KANO STATE'S MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS UNDER GOVERNOR AKY - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji  In a groundbreaking display of unparalleled governance, Kano state Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has managed to capture the hearts and minds of the people with his remarkable achievements over the past 10 months. An applause is indeed in order for these truly transformative endeavors that have left the state speechless. Among the notable highlights of Governor Yusuf's tenure is the grand investment of N800 million for mass weddings. Because what better way to address the plethora of existing issues plaguing the state, such as education and water shortages, than by splurging on wedding ceremonies?

Because when the people are hungry, forget about sustainable long-term solutions or investments in industries to
