Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that political will and action are key to transforming the country’s population into an asset.<\/p>\n

This was made known on Friday by the former head of state while speaking at the Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe symposium in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo expressed worry over the country\u2019s growing population, especially the unemployed youths.<\/p>\n

The former president said owing to unemployment and the inability to manage the country\u2019s population, many youths have enlisted in violent groups and kidnap gangs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst cluster of questions are: How are we going to feed this growing population? How are we going to house them, educate them \u2014 provided we have security and other variants of security?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second cluster of questions are: How do we keep this large keg of a large army of unemployed youths from exploding? How do we keep them from enlisting in violent groups and gangs of kidnappers?<\/p>\n

\u201cA not-well managed cluster of population is frightening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere appears to be a solution. Political will and political action can make the population an asset. This is the master key. The key has the will and the action. It is not enough to shout political will in mere political rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former president also said there is an index that countries could use to enhance their populations and make it an asset.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to introduce the population and assets responsiveness index, just as UN, AU and other international agencies have established indices for comparing performance of countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
