He also met with families and survivors of the recent deaths of 37 suspected artisanal miners in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). During his meeting with the affected families, Atiku announced a donation of N20 million in support of those who lost loved ones. He said Nigeria cannot secure its future without deliberately investing in its young people, expanding opportunities for them, and enabling them to pursue legitimate and productive livelihoods.
