Part 6/8:
The fundamental inquiry remains: Can the youth of the Niger Delta genuinely effect change, or are they merely pawns in the political machinations of more powerful players? Dr. Alay passionately asserts that the youth must be at the forefront of demanding change and contributing to meaningful development by asserting their rights to natural resource management and environmental stewardship.
He critiques individuals within the IYC who prioritize personal gain over the collective good, arguing that such betrayal could jeopardize the cause of many. Instead, he calls for unity among the youth and a concentrated effort to address the issues plaguing the region, particularly the management and use of resources generated locally.
