The alienation of youths from decision-making processes and developmental activities portends a great danger to national security, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Lucky Irabor, has warned.

Nigeria to overcome terrorism soon, says Aregbesola

Irabor, who argued that national security connotes freedom from danger or threat to the nation’s ability to defend and develop itself, promote its core values and legitimate interests, as well as the ability to enhance the well-being of citizenry, insisted that there must be substantial investment in job opportunities, access to education and good healthcare for Nigerian youths to thrive and contribute positively to the society.

“The converse also holds true, a decrease in the level of youth interaction and alienation in the decision-making processes and developmental activities would result in increase in violent crimes, anarchy and political instability, leading to destruction of critical infrastructure, loss of livelihoods and by extension, a retardation in the economy and impinged national security.

“This is my renewed call for the re-emphasis of value-driven programmes. I will like to implore you all to be agents of value addition. Values often influence one’s behaviour as they aid decision-making between alternatives. I often tell people not to strive for legacies, rather pursue value addition and eventually, you will have a legacy.
