Arewa Development Support Initiative (ADSI), a non-governmental organisation, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to address the issues of girl-child and out-of-school children education, particularly in the country’s north.
In a statement to mark Eid-el Kabir, the group’s president, Khuraira Musa, also urged the federal government to find a long-term solution to the country’s farmers/herders crisis.
ADSI emphasised the importance of the federal government convening farmers and herders to discuss the next steps.
It is heartbreaking to see towns and villages deserted because of avoidable crises by groups that had always shared and lived together in peace for decades.
It is also important that the government focuses on skills acquisition to help provide jobs for the teeming youths. Having them skilled in trade will improve their livelihoods and ensure capacity is built and sustained in an economy where the private sector drives the growth desired, he said.
The group also expressed its commitment to partner with the administration to rebuild the northern region and, ultimately, Nigeria as a whole through skills acquisition and education.
Arewa Development Support Initiative, ADSI, wishes President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kasim Shettima successful tenure.
Nigerians are watching, are praying and are full of hope that the country’s best days aren’t far away, he said.
