“Nigerian leaders only tackle the symptoms of problems, not the root causes.”

Legal experts and human rights activists have blamed poverty, youth unemployment and illiteracy for the rising attacks on the offices and facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission across the country.

A Lagos-based human rights lawyer and social commentator, Evans Ufeli, pointed out that unemployment and poverty, especially among the youths, were traceable to the attacks on state-owned facilities in recent times.that Nigerians were angry because “they are poor, don’t have jobs and lack the enabling environment to start a business.”

Of the 41 incidents, nine occurred in 2019 while 21 took place in 2020. In 2021 alone, 11 attacks on INEC facilities were recorded across seven states. However, Ufeli stressed that the strings of attacks “is a clear symptom that Nigeria has collapsed under unemployment and poverty.”
