Youth unemployment not peculiar to Nigeria, says Plateau Attorney-General
RATHER than being peculiar to the nation, youth unemployment is a global issue, the Plateau State Attorney-General, Mr. Yusuff Pam has said.
Pam at a two-day mobilisation and sensitisation workshop in Jos the state capital said that the development had resulted in restiveness among youths.
This according to him is associated with violent conflicts and crimes especially in the urban areas.
Pam said that government would implement the recommendations on youth employment and empowerment project in the state.
He urged the participants at the workshop to have positive sense of direction to ensure the full implementation of the project in the state.
In a remark, representative of the World Bank, Chudi Okafor, said the entire package of the programme was targeted at the Nigerian Youth between the ages of 18 and 35. He explained that the project was community-based while the benefiting communities and youths were expected to identify their needs for execution.
One hundred and fifty delegates from the three local councils of the state, Jos South, Bokkos and Mikang selected by the World Bank as private projects attended the workshop.
