79 percent of youth surveyed feel that only those close to
politicians benefit from youth employment and empowerment interventions
The Nigerian Stability and Reconciliation Programme, NSRP, will on June 26 unveil a report assessing the impact of youth employment and empowerment programmes on conflict reduction in the country.
In a statement Wednesday, Lauratu Abdulsalam, NSRP’s spokesperson, indicated that the report will be launched at a ceremony at Transcorps Hilton, Abuja.
The report is entitled, “Winners or Losers: Assessing the Contribution of Youth Employment and Empowerment Programmes to Reducing Conflict Risk in Nigeria.”
Giving a tip from the report, Ms. Abdulsalam indicated that government employment and empowerment interventions in Nigeria favoured mostly youths with links to politicians.
“The new research report conducted by the programme, finds that 79 percent of youth surveyed feel that only those close to politicians benefit from youth employment and empowerment interventions,” Ms. Abdulsalam stated.
The launch, the NSRP spokesperson stated, would be stimulated by a keynote address from the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, Clement Illoh.
Findings from the report, according to Ms. Abulsalam, would be debated by a panel consisting of representatives from the Federal Ministry of Finance, Federal Ministry of Youth Development, Nigerian National Youth Council as well as Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth and Advancement.
The Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation, Josephine Washima-Attah, will moderate the panel discussion.
NSRP is funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development, DFID, and is managed by a consortium led by the British Council. Other members of the consortium include International Alert and Social Development Direct.
It is a five-year programme aimed at supporting efforts to prevent, reduce and manage conflicts non-violently, thereby reducing the impact of violent conflict in Nigeria.
The programme provides support to Nigerian stakeholders to better manage conflict resulting in stable society for socioeconomic growth, service delivery and poverty reduction.
NSRP works across four key areas – security and governance, economic and natural resources, women and girls, and media, research and advocacy.
