 There is the need for young people to engage government and its agencies to ensure transparency and accountability to the people. Founder of the Inspired Youth Network, Ayomiko Ulubade gave this charge at a capacity-building program on public finance, political education, social audit, and freedom of information. Ulubade, who called for more sensitization of people at the grassroots ahead of the 2023 elections, also condemned the bottlenecks associated with the access to information from government. Blessing, if Eminem, of Action Aid Nigeria believes there is still much to be done as regards to transparency in government spending, while other speakers shared their thoughts about issues. Government agencies are refusing to give out information, government agencies are refusing to give out information at the right time, and some information is delayed, information is denied. At the time you need information, if you don't get it, in that process of what you achieve at that time. So the government needs to do more. The government needs to ensure that information is given to the people at the right time.

They should be able to call on government on whatever the field does not please them and they should be able to collaborate with other young people as well. But we look at the local government. It's not enough for you to be a citizen and it's not enough for you to just want to exercise your civil rights by voting. You can also move a step higher, take it a step higher. You want to know what's going on around you. There's a project or a construction going on in a road in your area. You want to know, okay, how much was budgeted for this project? Was it, was the all amount or entire amount budgeted used? How was he used and all that stuff? That is when we are really citizens. Now, Jerez was flawed in a decade that so far forced about 1.4 million people out of their homes, destroyed over 70,000 hectares of farmlands and killed more than 500 people. As the country braces for more high-intensity rain, now Jerez have called on the government to use the available resources to curtail the situation.
