Lawmaker Says Finding Lasting Solutions To Nigeria’s Economic Problems Is A Collective Responsibility

All Progressives Congress lawmaker , Representative Alhassan Doguwa from Kano State  says finding lasting solutions to Nigeria’s economic problems is a collective responsibility and urges protesters of hunger and hardship to embrace dialogue.

Doguwa, representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency, stated this while addressing officials of Kano Youth Forum, who visited him in Kano.

He condemned the unfortunate looting and vandalisation of public and private properties that characterised the 10-day nationwide protests which began on Aug. 1 in some parts of the country.

Stressing the need for democratic approach to solving the problems, the lawmaker, who is the Chairman, House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), advised youths to shelve protest and adopt dialogue.

This, according to him, will ensure a peaceful resolution to the burning issues.

Doguwa, a former Majority Leader in the 9th Assembly and current leader of the Northern Regional Caucus in the 10th Assembly, noted that the current economic crisis was not peculiar to Nigeria.
