FG Urged To Invest In Youth Education.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has been urged to give priority to youth education in order to avoid breeding agents of instability and enhance economic growth.
The call was made by the International Action on Small Arms (IANSA) on Monday.
In a statement issued by the IANSA Country Director, Jephter Asimole, it noted that, “Human intellect is what actually separates humans from the rest of animals. Hence, the issue of education must be taken seriously.”
It further said it was important to equip youths with quality education for life’s challenges, with a view to making them objects of peace and stability.
IANSA has equally called on President Muhammadu Buhari to constitute a panel of inquiry on the remote causes of infiltration of armed men among herdsmen.
The group further advocated life sentence for anyone caught with illegal weapons, calling on Nigerians to support the noble cause in order to rid the country of gun violence and other related crimes.
