Some stakeholders in South-East have attributed the increasing insecurity across the zone to irresponsive leadership and high rates of youth unemployment.
Some of them who spoke during the 2023 South East Youth Summit in Enugu, tagged; "the Good Citizen", added that unless something urgent was done to terminate the ugly trend, the youths would continue to wreak havoc in the region.
Renowned scholar and Director, Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Prof. Sam Amadi, who attributed the aggravated insecurity in the south east to lack of social trust and irresponsive leadership, stressed that the effect had disoriented youths towards violence and heinous crimes.
Amadi said that the Nigerian youths resort to self help due to lack of sense of belonging, stereotype and negligence by government in ensuring the social and economic welfare of youths.
The Director proposed the establishment of South East security and economic council, Eastern Security outfit, and quality leadership as solution to insecurity in the region.
While describing security as one of the critical drivers of development, he said politicians took advantage of the poor economic situation to lure youth into crime by using them as mercenaries in achieving selfish political ambitions.
In a keynote address, the Enugu state Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, noted that drug abuse, unemployment often account for majority of crimes committed by young persons.
The Commissioner, therefore, charged youths to engage responsibly in agitating for their rights by conducting themselves well with a sense of purpose in order to achieve their goal.
He stressed that parents play a critical role in the reorientation youths towards sustainable development.
Former Minister of State Mine and Steel Development, Hon. Uche Ogah, charged Igbo youths to get involved in the social and economic development of the south east region.
While commending the organisers of the event, he said that the event was imperative to recalibrate the security architecture of the region for sustainable growth, and encouraged Igbos in hinterland to bring their investments back home.
The Enugu state Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Barr. Lloyd Ekweremadu, advocated for change from kinetic approach to social security by creating job opportunities for teeming unemployed youths.
In his remark the convener of the 2023 Youth Summit, Hon. Monday Diamond said that the quest for a better Nigeria was a collective responsibility of all Nigerians especially the youths, pointing out that the event was imperative to reorientate youths on the need to think towards the development of the nation.
Highlight of the summit was the presentation of fifty thousand naira to 6 persons, and other prices to participants who participated in the raffle draw.
The event featured panel sessions and was graced by spiritual and royal fathers, Igbo leaders, civil society organisations, representatives of EFCC, NDLEA, Civil Defence, Customs, among other notable personalities.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
