Boko Haram: Ex-Ebonyi Gov., Egwu, Calls For Massive Recruitment Of Unemployed Graduates Into Armed Forces

Sam EgwuImmediate past governor of Ebonyi State, Dr. Sam Egwu has called on the Federal Government to recruit teeming unemployed graduates in the country into the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The former governor, who made the call in his home town of Ezzambo yesterday, said that the move would help in addressing the country’s security challenges.

According to the leader of the Ebonyi delegates to the ongoing National Conference, “the recruitment of youths into the military will also help in tackling the high level of unemployment in the country”.

He also stated that President Goodluck Jonathan’s acceptance of the international community’s offer of security assistance in combating the Boko Haram scourge was a welcome development.

“It will help in the rescue of over 200 school girls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists in Chibok, Borno, because both short term and long term approaches are needed to check insecurity in the country.

“The short term approach, which the president has adopted was to make countries which have overcome similar situation or have the technology to handle it assist Nigeria in salvaging the situation”, he said.

Egwu added that “the long term approach involves the realization by the authorities that the foreign security experts would eventually leave and Nigeria is expected to take measures in permanently ending the insurgency”.

This, he said, “can be achieved through the acquisition of modern technology required in warfare and the massive employment of youths in the Nigerian Army”.
