The Bauchi State Government began the registration of unemployed youths between the ages of 18 to 25 on the 18th of February. The registration is to last for a week.
According to an official in the state, the exercise is help determine the number and size of the unemployed youths so as to institute a social scheme to cater for them.
This event is co-incidental with the most notorious kidnapping scenario in Northern Nigeria in which seven foreigners were abducted; a Briton, an Italian, a German and four Lebanese.
The various unrest in northern Nigeria is enough fact for the institution of the scheme because all is not well. They just have to wake up to the social call. This should and ought to be a programme for the entire country in order to keep in touch with development and records.
With its take-off in Bauchi, one hopes other governors will wake up and act accordingly.
