博拉·艾哈迈德·蒂努布总统在 10 月 1 日独立日广播中宣布召开为期 30 天的青年会议,这让我质疑他的政府为解决尼日利亚人紧迫问题所做努力的诚意。
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s announcement of a 30-day youth conference in his 1st October Independence Day broadcast has left me questioning the sincerity of his administration’s efforts to address the pressing concerns of Nigerians. While the conference is framed as a platform to engage young Nigerians and provide a platform for dialogue, it appears ill-conceived and falls short of addressing the actual needs of the people.
博拉·艾哈迈德·蒂努布总统在 10 月 1 日独立日广播中宣布召开为期 30 天的青年会议,这让我质疑他的政府为解决尼日利亚人紧迫问题所做努力的诚意。虽然这次会议的定位是吸引尼日利亚年轻人参与并提供对话平台,但它似乎考虑不周,未能满足人民的实际需求。
Coming on the heels of the August #EndBadGovernance protests in Lagos and other parts of the country against economic hardship, such a lengthy conference feels more like a publicity stunt than a genuine attempt to engage with Nigerian youths. Worse still, it may end up as yet another token effort designed to deflect from the government’s failure to engage meaningfully over serious social and economic issues.
紧随八月拉各斯和该国其他地区针对经济困难的#EndBadGovernance 抗议活动之后,如此漫长的会议感觉更像是一种宣传噱头,而不是真正试图与尼日利亚年轻人接触。更糟糕的是,这可能最终成为又一个象征性的努力,旨在转移人们对政府未能有效参与解决严重社会和经济问题的关注。
To begin with, a 30-day conference sounds like an exaggerated attempt to showcase concern for youth engagement, but what exactly will it accomplish that has not already been discussed? The 10-day #EndBadGovernance protests, which drew attention to the country’s protracted economic woes, corruption, and lack of accountability, were met with silence and inaction from the government. The demands for accountability, good governance, and economic turnaround were ignored. Now, with the proposed conference, it seems the Tinubu administration is trying to appease young Nigerians with a tokenistic gesture rather than tackling the root causes of their discontent.
首先,为期 30 天的会议听起来像是一种夸张的尝试来表达对青年参与的关注,但它究竟会实现什么尚未讨论过的目标?为期 10 天的 #EndBadGovernance 抗议活动引起了人们对该国长期经济困境、腐败和缺乏问责制的关注,但政府却保持沉默和无所作为。对问责制、良好治理和经济复苏的要求被忽视了。现在,通过拟议的会议,蒂努布政府似乎试图用象征性的姿态安抚尼日利亚年轻人,而不是解决他们不满的根源。
The #EndBadGovernance protests continued on 1st October, a day jubilation was supposed to rent the air across Nigeria in commemoration of the country’s 64th independence anniversary, though there was a low turnout due to fear of repression and economic fatigue. These protests are not just a random outpouring of anger; they are a reflection of deep-seated frustrations with the state of governance in the country. This should tell a people-oriented government that what young Nigerians want is not more rhetoric, but tangible solutions. They want a government that prioritises job creation, reduces inflation, and addresses corruption—issues that directly affect their daily lives. Instead of making a concerted effort to alleviate these problems, the All Progressives Congress government is offering a month-long conference that will likely be filled with speeches and empty promises.
#EndBadGovernance 抗议活动于 10 月 1 日继续进行,这一天本来应该在尼日利亚各地弥漫着庆祝该国独立 64 周年的气氛,但由于担心镇压和经济疲软,投票率很低。这些抗议活动不仅仅是愤怒的随意流露;它们反映了对该国治理状况根深蒂固的不满。这应该告诉一个以人为本的政府,尼日利亚年轻人想要的不是更多的言辞,而是切实的解决方案。他们希望政府优先考虑创造就业机会、降低通货膨胀并解决直接影响他们日常生活的腐败问题。全体进步党国会政府并没有齐心协力缓解这些问题,而是召开了为期一个月的会议,会议可能充满了演讲和空洞的承诺。
It is worth noting that previous administrations have made similar attempts to organise dialogues and conferences, only for these initiatives to end up as futile exercises in time-wasting. The 2014 National Conference under Goodluck Jonathan, for example, generated hundreds of recommendations, yet a few of these proposals have been implemented. There is little reason to believe that Tinubu’s 30-day youth conference will be any different. His administration has shown little commitment to the plight of Nigerians up to this point, so why should anyone expect this event to produce anything meaningful?
值得注意的是,历届政府也曾尝试组织对话和会议,但最终都徒劳无功,浪费时间。例如,古德勒克·乔纳森 (Goodluck Jonathan) 主持的 2014 年全国会议提出了数百项建议,但其中一些建议已得到实施。没有理由相信蒂努布为期 30 天的青年会议将会有所不同。到目前为止,他的政府对尼日利亚人的困境几乎没有表现出任何承诺,那么为什么有人会期望这次活动产生任何有意义的成果呢?
The logistics of such a conference also raise questions. How practical is it to hold a conference for a month in a country where basic infrastructure is in a shambles? Will the government foot the bill for transportation, accommodation, and food for participants? What criteria will be used to select attendees, and will these attendees genuinely represent the interests of the youth, or will they be handpicked to offer a favourable image of the government? These are critical questions that the government needs to address.
此类会议的后勤工作也引发了问题。在一个基础设施破烂不堪的国家召开一个月的会议有多大实际意义?政府会承担参与者的交通、住宿和食物费用吗?将采用什么标准来选择与会者?这些与会者是否真正代表年轻人的利益,或者他们是否会被精心挑选以提供政府的良好形象?这些都是政府需要解决的关键问题。
A better approach for President Tinubu would be to focus on taking immediate and concrete steps to address the specific grievances of the youths over the past few months. Essentially, young Nigerians are asking for better governance. This includes greater accountability from public officials, a more inclusive political process, and reforms that do not disproportionately harm the poorest citizens and most vulnerable. For instance, a phased removal of the fuel subsidy, combined with social welfare programmes to cushion the blow, would have been a more effective strategy.
对蒂努布总统来说,更好的方法是集中精力立即采取具体措施,解决过去几个月年轻人的具体不满。本质上,尼日利亚年轻人要求更好的治理。这包括公职人员承担更大的责任、更具包容性的政治进程以及不会过度伤害最贫困公民和最弱势群体的改革。例如,分阶段取消燃油补贴,并结合社会福利计划来缓冲冲击,本来是一个更有效的策略。
Corruption is another urgent issue that needs immediate attention. Young Nigerians see this corruption firsthand and have become weary of a system that allow public officials to enrich themselves at the expense of the population. If Tinubu’s government is sincere about engaging the youth, it must show a genuine commitment to transparency and accountability. This means ensuring that public funds are used for the benefit of all Nigerians and strengthening anti-corruption institutions such as the judiciary and anti-corruption agencies. Beyond governance reforms, the government should prioritise job creation and economic opportunities for young people. Unemployment in Nigeria remains alarmingly high, with millions of young people struggling to find meaningful work after school. Rather than organising conferences to talk, the government should focus on rolling out programmes that promote entrepreneurship, skills development, and employment.
腐败是另一个需要立即关注的紧迫问题。年轻的尼日利亚人亲眼目睹了这种腐败现象,并对公职人员以牺牲民众利益为代价谋取私利的制度感到厌倦。如果蒂努布政府真诚地让年轻人参与,就必须表现出对透明度和问责制的真正承诺。这意味着确保公共资金用于所有尼日利亚人的利益,并加强司法和反腐败机构等反腐败机构。除了治理改革之外,政府还应优先考虑为年轻人创造就业机会和经济机会。尼日利亚的失业率仍然高得惊人,数百万年轻人在放学后努力寻找有意义的工作。政府不应该组织会议进行讨论,而应该专注于推出促进创业、技能发展和就业的计划。
Additionally, Tinubu’s administration needs to ensure that its policies are not just focused on short-term gains but are designed with Nigeria’s future in mind. This requires prioritising sectors like education, healthcare, and infrastructure development—areas that are critical to long-term national growth. The government should also focus on creating a more transparent and participatory political environment. This could involve reforms to the electoral system to make it easier for young people to run for office and participate in decision-making processes. It is disappointing that despite
此外,蒂努布政府需要确保其政策不仅注重短期收益,而且在设计时考虑到尼日利亚的未来。这需要优先考虑教育、医疗保健和基础设施发展等对国家长期增长至关重要的领域。政府还应致力于创造更加透明和参与性的政治环境。这可能涉及选举制度的改革,使年轻人更容易竞选公职并参与决策过程。令人失望的是,尽管
