nation-state called Nigeria.

unemployment leads to poverty, insecurity and other social vices. Nigeria's
political, economic and social fabric is disintegrating because of this time
bomb. Something urgent must be done and given the type of mono-economy we run
in this country, we believe the government must lead the way so that
unemployment can be reduced and eventually eradicated.”
