As part of the resolutions by lawmakers during Wednesday’s plenary after a series of deliberations on the welfare of Nigerians, the Senate has called on the Nigerian Government to declare an emergency on unemployment across the country.
The Senate wants the government to take other urgent measures to stimulate production and other economic activities to engage young Nigerians.
They also agreed that the government should increase the budgets to education by allocating and effectively implementing 26 per cent of the annual budget to the education sector.
Recommending that this should begin from the next budget cycle in 2020 and asked state governments to do the same.
The Senate also urged the government to adopt the policy of annual recruitment of at least 100,000 personnel per year for all the security organs in the country.
These resolutions were made following a motion by Senator Chukwuka Utazi on bridging the gap between the haves and the have-not in Nigeria, to nip in the bud the seeds of a ‘looming violent revolution’.
