Delta State governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan has attributed the current spate of terrorism and violent crimes in the country to the problem of youth unemployment.
Launching the Delta State Micro Insurance Scheme (DMIS) in Asaba yesterday, Governor Uduaghan noted that lack of employment over the years has created a pool of youths who are being recruited for insurgency and other nefarious activities. “Over the years, we have ignored poverty; we have not paid attention to the people at the lower rung of the society. Theyouths have become a pool of people being recruited to become kidnappers, armed robbers, terrorists and assassins,” the governor observed, adding, “it is not a problem we can solve in one day, but we can start from somewhere.”
The governor said jobs should be created for youths to be positively engaged, adding that his administration devised micro-credit scheme which has empowered a lot of Deltans to become employers of labour as a way of getting Deltans to be positively engaged.
