FG Gets Kudos For Reducing Unemployment
The National Coordinator, Nigeria Youths Arise, Mr Olarenwaju Babatunde, has commended the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan for reducing youth unemployment through various programmes.
Babatunde gave the commendation while addressing newsmen in IIorin, Kwara State.
He identified some of the programmes to include “You Win”`, “SURE-P”, adding that the programmes had changed the lives of the unemployed youth.
The coordinator said that the youth in the country must be agents of positive change in order to move the nation forward.
Babatunde also enjoined the youth to ensure they were not used by self-seeking politicians to foment trouble during the 2015 general elections.
He said that they should endeavour to avoid all acts capable of affecting the political and economic development of the country.
“There is no doubt that the youth remain major stakeholders in the polity.
“That is the reason they should be careful of being used by selfish politicians that have no interest in the oneness and unity of the country,” he said.
Babatunde urged Nigerians irrespective of their political affiliations to join hands with the Federal Government to enable the transformation agenda to succeed so as to bring more economic and political development to the nation.
