A security rights activist and Community Leader, Asiwaju Oludotun Adetunberu, PhD has called on the National Assembly to intervene in the dialogue processes between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the federal government to ensure a lasting solution to the prolonged industrial conflict.
The security scholar who spoke with newsmen in Ado-Ekiti emphasized that the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila to initiate a process that would compel all relevant stakeholders to play critical roles in nipping the crisis in the bud.
Asiwaju Adetunberu lamented that the drivers of the socio-economic and political existence of the country are not conscious of the implications when Students are to stay at home when expected to be engaged in academic activities, stressing that it is an invitation to be involved in social vices.
This the security rights activist expressed concern that more youths would engage in internet fraud and ritual activities that have become rampant among Nigerian youths.
While calling on President Mohammadu Buhari to apologise to the Nigerian youths, Asiwaju Adetunberu appealed to the President to lift embargo on unemployment so that Nigeria youths can be gainfully employed in better places put in an end to alleged job racketeering in the country.
The security rights activist said “during the first tenure of President Buhari, only six thousand, two hundred of our graduate youths were employed by the Nigeria Civil Service Commission where more than twenty thousand workers have exited the Federal Civil Service either through retirement, retrenchment or death from the Service. The embargo placed on employment by the Federal Government has therefore created a gap in the system,”
“How do we explain the same system turning out graduates in millions yearly from the National Youth Service Scheme. The implication is that in four years, we have turned out four million graduates without providing job opportunities. The argument of Government on policy such as N-POWER is baseless and fruitless because it is merely an enslavement processes”, Adetunberu claimed.
“The private sector alone cannot drive the employment process alone and the much-talked about entrepreneurship can favourably survive in a peaceful and conducive atmosphere with stable electricity and good governance. It should be noted that the rich are living at the expense of the poor and this may further trigger instability,” the community leader stressed.
Asiwaju Adetunberu also called on the President to consider it as a positive step towards reducing crime rate by appending his signature on the ongoing bill on National Task Force Commission that has scaled the third reading at the National Assembly.
He emphasized that “If signed into law, it would enforce reduction in arms proliferation, through Importation of arms, ammunition, light weapons, chemical weapons and also create job opportunities”.
The security rights activist charged security Adviser to the President to show more commitment and interest in policies that could enhance the security of Nigeria- State, expressing fears that there is an evil wind that is blowing across the west african countries as a result of bad leadership.
“The rate of insecurity in Nigeria is alarming, overwhelming and the security architecture of the country has collapsed, the intelligence gathering system is deficient , complete failure of collaboration among the security operating units , low determination and dedication to rescue Nigeria as a result of corrupt nature of the system coupled with the political will to tackle insecurity has complicated the current security situation,” Adetunberu added.
