”Our government must equally put on its priority list mass employment opportunities for youths in a bid to strengthen the democratic structures.”
According to him, such measures will help reduce poverty and other deviant behaviours among vulnerable people in the society.
The NUPENG president also underscored the need for strong commitment toward securing lives and properties of the people and addressing social infrastructure deficit.
He said that addressing nagging issues in health care, education and power as well as upholding the rule of law and the principles of separation of powers would deepen Nigeria’s democracy.
