From Port Harcourt, the capital city of Rivers State, a call has gone out to President Goodluck Jonathan to do all he can to address the issue of joblessness among youths in the region.
The call was made by youths themselves, who followed up with a strong case for non-militants among them. They argued that after ex-militants in the Niger Delta were appeased with jobs, those of them who refused to take to criminality and remain peaceful in spite of hunger, also deserve to be employed.
According to NATION, the youths made the appeal in a communiqué issued at the end of 2013 International Youths’ Day celebration in the Rivers State capital.
In the nine-point document signed by over 16 different youth groups and associations, they said empowering non-violent youths like their militant counterparts would bring about equity, justice and fairness.
They stated that it would also encourage the non-militant youths to continue to engage in peaceful dialogue with the government in the event of perceived grievances.

ReplyDeleteNot only jobs, d Nigerian youths also need monthly jobless pay of atleast N10k to cool off d pressure of daily needs dat forces youth into crime. Anyway, i am doing something a creat over 10, 000 new jobs for d youths bcos i do have d connections to do so. But d government must ensure condusive enviroment for such bcos internet and computer can never run without atleast daily twelve uninterupted power supply. Also, parents must ensure they give birth to three or four children inorder to help bcos too large population is also responsible for mass joblessness. Uche
