The NLC Deputy chair described the insecurity in the country especially in the north and most especially along the Kaduna-Abuja axis as very disturbing advised the federal government to massively recruit the youths into all the nation’s security outfits.
Yasin who is also the Regional Chair, International Transport Federation of Africa, said this move would increase the manpower within the security network that needs far more hands than what they have currently.
According to him, ”I was born and weaned in Zamfara, old Sokoto state, because of insecurity I cannot travel there now. I urge the government to rise up to the occasion. Government can do that by employing more youths in the military and other security personnel.
“Though, I learnt that Federal Government had drafted security personnel to the Kaduna-Abuja road,” he said.
