The National Civil Society Council of Nigeria [NCSCN] celebrates with Muslim faithful on the occasion of Eid-el Kabir. They also called on President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to re-shape his cabinet. The Council's Executive Director, Blessing Akinlosotu, made the disclosure in a statement on Monday. 'The National Civil Society Council of Nigeria (NCSCN) joins all muslim faithful in celebrating this special day and prays for peace, unity and prosperity for all Nigerians. 'May this Eid bring joy, blessings, and happiness to you and your loved ones,' the statement said. The council expressed concern over the worsening economic conditions faced by Nigerians, including rising inflation and unemployment. 'The group holds that the cabinet is failing to effectively address these issues and is, therefore, unable to alleviate the suffering of the people. 'The council believes that a new cabinet, consisting of experienced and competent individuals, is necessary to tackle the numerous challenges facing the country.' The statement further emphasised the need for accountability and transparency in governance, while appealing to the government to prioritise the welfare of the Nigerian people and ensure that their interests were adequately represented. They also called on other civil society organisations, as well as grassroots movements and citizens, to lend their voices to the call for a good standard of living for the masses. 'Collective voices from various sectors of society is essential to bring about the necessary changes that can alay the struggles of the Nigerian people. 'This important Islamic festival is a time for reflection, sacrifice, and giving back to the community and we pray that Almighty Allah will continue to bless you with his benevolence and mercy,' the statement added.
