'Similar alarm bells have been ringing with increasing stridency all over Africa. How are we going to house them; educate them, provide them with health security and other variants of human security?'

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has lamented the challenge of providing basic amenities for Nigeria’s ever-increasing population.

“Even today as I flew over some settlements from Minna to Lagos and traversed the road from Ikeja to Victoria Island, the sheer number of persons literally oozing out from nowhere kept my mind numb and exasperated. By the year, the situation has been worsening and has filled me with a sense of foreboding.

The second cluster of questions, according to Mr Obasanjo, is how to keep the keg of gunpowder of the large army of unemployed youth from exploding. Mr Obasanjo said it was not enough to shroud political will in mere political rhetoric and sloganeering but translating such will into concrete, measurable actions with a visible impact on the ground.
