JIDE IPINSAGBA BLAMES UNEMPLOYMENT ON NIGERIA'S INSTABILITY.

Lack of Youth unemployment is a major threat to peace and security in Nigeria which, unless addressed, could see the return of economic crisis to our country following a decades of peace Nigeria has enjoyed.

Jide Ipinsaba gave unemployment as one of the highlight and challenges facing the fragile states in Nigeria. He said there is more to be done to help young Nigerians affected by unemployment.

According to Ipinsagba , young people account for about 65 percent of nigeria’s population of 200 million, and youth unemployment is estimated as high as 35 percent for working youth.

“Peace and security in Nigeria is still an issue because of the young unemployed, and until we addressed that, there’s always hanging over us the chance that there may be a resumption of high crime rate in our country".

However, Hon. Jide Ipinsagba’s warning underscores the risk that nigeria’s long-heralded “demographic dividend” could become a liability unless governments can create more jobs for their growing populations.

He called for a stronger focus on providing vocational and technical training for those whose lives had been sabotaged by years of insecurity, poverty and unemployment.

He also said There is a need for a more aggressive approach to tackling issues such as youth unemployment and poor infrastructure within fragile states and regions,
