According to Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Nigeria cannot afford another civil war.
El-Rufai advised youths not to feed the fires of violence and conflict in the country during his speech at the conclusion ceremony of the orientation course held for members of the 2022 Batch B (Stream 2) National Youth Service Corps sent to Kaduna State on Tuesday, August 9.
Represented by the state’s Acting Governor, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, El-Rufai said;
“The youth must remember that the NYSC came into being after the civil war that tore every fabric of the Nigerian state. The war was a needless savagery that we cannot afford to repeat.
“Nigerian youths must, therefore, distance themselves from fanning the embers of violence and war in Nigeria. As a country, we must avoid a repeat of that dark part of our history. And Nigerian youths must refuse to be ready tools for war mongers.”
He further noted that the national youth service is a reflection of the hope placed on young graduates as bearers of a greater Nigeria.
