Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta has called on governments at all levels to work hard to tackle unemployment in Nigeria.

Okowa made this call on Tuesday when he received participants of course 44 of the armed forces command and Staff College, Jaji, at the government house in Asaba, Delta capital.

Speaking on the theme ‘Enhancing National Security through Socio-economic Development’, Okowa said several factors are responsible for insecurity, noting that with growing unemployment in the society, the likelihood of those affected giving in to crime increased.

He said: “Realising this, every government and sub-national government, including the local governments, must try to work hard to pull people out of unemployment and poverty,”

“Unfortunately, as a nation, we have a population that is growing too much, growing more than the economy of the nation.

“At the moment, we are very worried about the unemployment rate in the country. It is much higher even among the youth.

“We must ensure that we begin to design policies and programmes that would continually engage our youths.”
