Chief David Umahi, The Governor of Ebonyi State, at the weekend while addressing the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, during the 65th emergency senate meeting charged Nigerian youths to forget about government jobs which according to him, add no profit to their destiny.
The meeting took place at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital.
The governor, nonetheless, called on the youths to avoid all kinds of cultism in their different institutions, adding that the development and future of Nigeria are in their hands.
The governor further accrued the blame for the increasing rate of kidnapping, armed robbery, bandits, cultism and killings in Nigeria on youths’ quest for quick wealth.
“We say there are no jobs, but it is not true. You are waiting for government jobs, but it doesn’t work. It makes you lazy and you grow old. What the government should do is to create the environment. It is only a few people that are employable”. He said.
Umahi in a similar development kicked against fuel subsidy in Nigeria, adding that It is not in the interest of the country.
