A group in Plateau under the banner Youth Network for Peace and Good Governance have called on the Federal Government and security agencies to intensify efforts in curbing insurgency. The group made the call as they maintained that youths were the most vulnerable during attacks.

The spokesman for the group, Mr Aondoma Tor who was speaking in Jos also called on the security agencies to hasten up and rescue the abducted students of Government Girls Secondary School Chibok, Borno State.

He said “We salute the actions of the little school girls in Chibok community, whom despite the carnage in Borno State, insisted on going to school to write their WAEC before they were abducted. The Federal Government must put together all resources within its power to ensure the safe release of the abducted school girls in Chibok”.

“We call on the youths to provide support through information sharing and gathering for security personnel who try as much as they can to avoid further terror”, he said.

Tor decried the level of unemployment in the country which he said has left many graduates unable to cater for themselves thereby making them willing tools in the hands of politicians who use them to wreak havoc.

He said, “It is imperative that while the youths provide their own support and intelligence, the Federal Government must provide job opportunities to ensure that these youths are not distracted but rather are focused on empowering themselves and developing the community.”
