FG Must Create More Jobs To Appease Angry Youths – Ooni of Ife

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II has come out to beg the government at all levels to create employment opportunities to appease angry and hungry Nigerian youths.

He revealed this recently while speaking at the commencement of his fifth year anniversary.

According to him, he has wrapped up plans to empower 5000 youths and ensure that they financially independent, and the government must follow suit.

He added that leaders must ensure the graduates becomes employers of labour, rather than aimless seekers for unavailable jobs.

His words, “The youths are angry because they are hungry and the way to get them out of this anger is to continue to empower them. In line with the celebration of my 5th years on throne, I’ve mapped out plans to empower five thousand youths to be financially independent and to feed others.

“I hereby call on Nigerian leaders either in politics, traditional or religious to know that it is now a necessity to empower the youths. Out of our earnings, let us dedicate part to the empowerment of youths in our areas, we must consider this as a necessity and what should be done on a regular basis.

“We have just have a sample of youth restiveness and it should be a lesson to all of us that nobody can handle their anger, so it is about time we know that it is stupidity to keep monies in the bank while the needy continue to wallow in abject poverty.”

“We were with the president two weeks ago and the issue was discussed and we’re making progress. We have roles to play, we are not competing with them and I believe that we shall get there.”
