Crime: Interfaith urges FG to provide jobs for youths

The Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace (IDFP) has urged the federal and state governments to provide jobs for the youths to prevent their recruitment into crimes.

The organisation warned that rising youth population, coupled with unemployment and urbanization, could lead to violence unless governments provide jobs and skills acquisition for the youth.

They made the call on Friday during a webinar, with the title, “Human Rights Violations and Armed Conflicts in Nigeria: The Perspective of Young People.”
