Executive Director, Nigeria Network of NGOs, Oyebisi, B. Oluseyi, pressed home participants’ declaration when he said, “The last two years have been difficult for families and communities across the country as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The lock downs and stringent control measures hit business activities hard, including very small scale businesses, most of which ended up dying off completely throwing many families that depended on them further below the poverty line.” Therefore, the NGOs called on the Federal Government to “create and ensure a strong social protection system for all which ensures a more rights based community centered approach focusing on financial inclusion of marginalized groups to ensure equity in governance and processes” and encouraged Civil Society Organisations to “mobilise resources locally by engaging private stakeholders to contribute at least 1% of their annual profits to combat poverty and challenges posed by the pandemic”.
