The Chairman, Global Citizen Nigeria, Mr Tunde Folawiyo has enjoined private sector and civil society to map out plans to address the issue of poverty in the country. He noted that both groups can no longer stand aloof from addressing issues of poverty in Nigeria because failure to address extreme poverty in Nigeria will put everyone at risk. The Chairman explained that Global Citizen is a global movement for citizen-led actions to eradicate poverty and improve human living conditions. The government in Nigeria only controls 10 per cent of the entire GDP while the private sector controls 90 per cent. Adefulire commended Mr Folawiyo and Aig-Imoukhuede for leading the private sector efforts.
