20.10.20: THE DECLARATION OF THE NIGERIAN YOUTH 

We the Nigerian Youth, 

Will never forget the sacrifices of our fellow compatriots. Whose lives were cut short. For exercising their fundamental rights to ask respect for their human rights. At the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020. We honor their bravery and we are determined to bring forth the Nigeria we desire. 

We have the constitutional right to assemble and protest our grievances with our government without fear of consequence. We denounce the use of violence and brutality to silence our demands for a greater Nigeria. We stand in solidarity with the families of every Nigerian Youth who has faced harassment or death in the hands of SARS. Because of their looks. Because of their status. Because of their expression of their human rights. 

This is unacceptable. This can no longer stand. We will no longer tolerate the mistreatment of our fellow Nigerians at the very hands of those supposed to protect us. 

We are not our parents’ generation. We are the manifestation of their prayers.

We are calling on all 36 State Governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to sign this Declaration of Nigerian Youth to reassure your constituencies that you stand with the good people of Nigeria. 

The power of the people will always be stronger than the people in power. May we work together and for one another to bring forth a new Nigeria.  

Sincerely, 

The 20.10.20 Project
