Muhammadu Sanusi II, the Emir of
Kano, has identified threats to Nigeria’s security and development.
The monarch listed the neglect of
youths, agriculture, access to education and land policies as the real threats
to National development and security in Nigeria.
Sanusi, a former Governor of
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, made this disclosure while delivering a paper
titled, “Youth, Security and National Development in Nigeria,” at the
International Youth, Graduation and Annual Lecture of the Vocational Centre in
Katsina, yesterday.
The former CBN governor noted
that the country was facing serious security challenges as a result of
non-involvement of youths in the productive sector of the economy.
He said, “The insurgents in the
North East and the Niger Delta regions recruit youth who cannot be productive
to society because of their ideology or lack of education.
“Most of those who join in the
insurgency are economically disadvantaged. This threat to national security
cannot also be overcome unless these issues of ideology and lack of access to
quality education are addressed.”
