Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday identified what
Nigeria needs to manage its growing unemployed youths.
Obasanjo said Nigeria needs political will and action to
transform its growing unemployed population.
Speaking at the Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe symposium in Lagos, the
former president lamented that a lot of youths have resorted to violence and
joining kidnap gangs.
According to Obasanjo: “The second cluster of questions are:
How do we keep this large keg of a large army of unemployed youths from
exploding?
“How do we keep them from enlisting in violent groups and
gangs of kidnappers?
“A not-well managed cluster of population is frightening.
“There appears to be a solution. Political will and
political action can make the population an asset.
“This is the master key. The key has the will and the
action. It is not enough to shout political will in mere political rhetoric.”
