The call was made by the Senior Special Assistant on Youth Empowerment to the Kwara state governor, Alhaji Saka Babatunde while responding to interview questions in his office.

"If you look around the world, social vices is on the increase; thuggery, human cannibalism, fraud among others and Nigeria, Kwara is not excluded in this trend. This explains why the Kwara state government under the leadership of Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed has adopted and prioritized youth employment and empowerment as a major way to counter the progression of social vices among our youths" he stated. Further speaking, ahead of the 2015 general election, Saka who commended youth activeness in Nigeria's political sphere, urged the youths to be sensitize not be lured into violent activities by politicians who want to meet their selfish ends. "I commend our youths, particularly the Kwara youths, who have displayed high level of seriousness and enthusiasm about the need for a better society through collaboration with government policies and reforms; I use this avenue to urge them to be alert, particularly during this election season, so that they will not be lured into violent activities by selfish politicians" he said. Saka also lauded the diligence of Kwara youths of the state employment and empowerment schemes, and encouraged them to continue to support the Governor Abdulfatah led administration in ensuring youth unemployment becomes a thing of the past in Kwara state. Currently Kwara is rated the state with the least youth unemployment rate in Nigeria after Osun state according to the Central Bank of Nigeria's statistics. |
