From Port Harcourt, the capital city of Rivers State, a call has gone
out to President Goodluck Jonathan to do all he can to address the issue
of joblessness among youths in the region.
The call was made by youths themselves, who followed up with a strong
case for non-militants among them. They argued that after ex-militants
in the Niger Delta were appeased with jobs, those of them who refused to
take to criminality and remain peaceful in spite of hunger, also
deserve to be employed.
According to NATION, the youths made the appeal in a communiqué issued
at the end of 2013 International Youths’ Day celebration in the Rivers
State capital.
