How the Government Can Gainfully Engage Unemployed Youths to Reduce Crime in Nigeria

Youth unemployment is one of the most critical challenges facing Nigeria today. With over half of the nation’s population being under 30 years old, it is alarming that a large percentage of them remain unemployed or underemployed. This lack of engagement not only wastes the potential of our young population but also fuels the rise in crime across the country. To address this issue, the government must take deliberate and strategic steps to gainfully engage youths in productive ventures, thereby reducing crime and promoting national growth.

Firstly, the government must prioritize vocational and technical education. Many Nigerian youths lack practical skills that align with the demands of the modern labor market. By establishing well-equipped vocational training centers in every state, young people can learn trades such as carpentry, fashion design, welding, ICT, and agricultural processing. These skills can help them become self-employed and even create jobs for others.

Secondly, there is a need to support youth entrepreneurship. Many youths have business ideas but lack access to funding, mentorship, and market opportunities. Government agencies like SMEDAN, NIRSAL, and the Bank of Industry should offer grants, low-interest loans, and training programs specifically tailored for young entrepreneurs. Encouraging small businesses will not only reduce unemployment but will also stimulate the local economy.

The agricultural sector also holds immense potential for job creation. With Nigeria’s vast arable land, the government should revive youth-targeted agricultural schemes and provide access to land, seedlings, fertilizers, and modern farming tools. Young people should be encouraged to see farming as a viable and profitable career through investment and incentives.

Furthermore, the digital economy offers an untapped opportunity for youth engagement. With training in digital skills like coding, web design, data analysis, digital marketing, and freelancing, Nigerian youths can access remote work opportunities globally. Government-sponsored tech hubs and partnerships with tech companies can open new doors for employment. Public works and infrastructure projects are another avenue for job creation. Construction of roads, housing, bridges, and public facilities can provide employment to thousands of youths in different capacities — as laborers, technicians, supervisors, and artisans.

Lastly, youth engagement in governance and leadership is crucial. When young people are involved in decision-making and given roles in public service, they develop a sense of responsibility and belonging. This inclusion can reduce the frustration that often leads to criminal behavior.

In conclusion, reducing youth unemployment is not only essential for the well-being of young Nigerians but also for the security and stability of the nation. The government must take proactive steps in education, entrepreneurship, agriculture, digital skills, and infrastructure to empower youths and curb the rising crime rate. A nation that invests in its youth secures its future.

Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the heart of a dense forest, there lived a young and ambitious farmer named Kofi. Kofi had always dreamed of cultivating a lush and thriving garden, but his neighbor, an old and stubborn man named Okonkwo, refused to let him use the adjacent land.

Okonkwo had long abandoned the land, allowing it to become overgrown with weeds and thorns. Kofi, determined to make use of the land, approached Okonkwo and asked if he could borrow it. But Okonkwo was unyielding, insisting that the land was cursed and would bring Kofi nothing but hardship.

Undeterred, Kofi tried to reason with Okonkwo, explaining how his garden would benefit the entire community and bring prosperity to the village. He promised to share the harvest with Okonkwo and even offered to help him with his own farm work. But Okonkwo would not listen, threatening to involve the village elders if Kofi continued to pursue the matter.

Determined to achieve his goal, Kofi decided to take matters into his own hands. One night, under the cover of darkness, he snuck onto Okonkwo's land and began to clear the weeds and thorns. But Okonkwo, suspecting Kofi's intentions, had set a trap, and Kofi was caught and dragged before the village elders.

The elders, seeing the cleared land and Kofi's determination, were impressed, but they also recognized Okonkwo's rights as the landowner. They decided that Kofi would have to compensate Okonkwo for the damage and respect his wishes to abandon the land.

Feeling defeated, Kofi returned to his own land, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there was a better way. He decided to try again, this time using a different approach.

Kofi visited Okonkwo's home, bringing gifts and kind words. He listened to Okonkwo's stories and showed genuine interest in his well-being. Slowly but surely, Okonkwo began to soften, seeing Kofi's sincerity and determination.

One day, Okonkwo surprised Kofi by offering him the land, saying, 'You have shown me that you truly care about this land and our community. I trust you to use it wisely.'

Kofi was overjoyed, and with Okonkwo's blessing, he set to work cultivating his garden. As the crops grew, so did the bond between Kofi and Okonkwo, and the entire village benefited from their hard work.

The villagers, seeing the transformation, nodded in agreement: persuasion is better than force. Kofi's kindness and determination had achieved what aggression and coercion could not. He had won over Okonkwo's heart, and in doing so, had gained a valuable ally and a thriving garden.

From that day forward, Kofi and Okonkwo became close friends, working together to build a better future for their community. And Kofi's garden became a symbol of the power of persuasion, reminding everyone that kindness and understanding can overcome even the toughest obstacles.

As the saying goes, 'A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.' Kofi's story proved that this wisdom is timeless, and that persuasion is indeed better than force.

No. 14 Victory Estate,
Thinkers Corner,
Enugu State.
12th December, 2025.

The Principal,
Bright Star College,
Enugu State.

Sir,

LETTER PROFFERING SOLUTIONS TO THE RISING IMMORAL BEHAVIOUR AMONG STUDENTS

I write respectfully as the Senior Prefect of this noble institution to draw your attention to the recent and alarming increase in immoral behaviour among students in our school. Over the past few weeks, I have observed several disturbing trends that threaten the moral tone, academic focus, and overall reputation of our great school. I believe it is my responsibility, as a student leader, to bring these issues to your notice and humbly suggest practical solutions.

First, there has been a rise in truancy, with some students leaving the school premises during school hours without permission. This unfortunate act has exposed many students to negative influences outside the school environment. Secondly, inappropriate relationships among students—especially between senior and junior learners—have become more noticeable. Cases of bullying, use of vulgar language, and the sharing of explicit content on mobile phones have also increased at an unsettling rate. These acts, if left unchecked, may corrupt younger pupils, damage discipline, and undermine the values our school stands for.

Sir, although our school has always maintained a strong disciplinary system, the sudden rise in these behaviours shows that more proactive measures are urgently needed. I humbly present the following solutions for your consideration:

To begin with, strict monitoring of students during and after break periods will greatly reduce loitering and the act of sneaking out of school. Additional staff or prefects can be assigned to patrol less-used areas such as back corridors and the school field. Also, strengthening the gate-keeping system will prevent students from leaving without permission.

Secondly, I strongly recommend that the school regulates the use of mobile phones. Most immoral content spreads through unmonitored phone usage. A stricter phone policy or periodic phone checks (conducted respectfully) will discourage students from bringing inappropriate materials into the school environment.

Thirdly, organizing regular moral instruction sessions and inviting counsellors, motivational speakers, and religious leaders can guide students towards positive behaviour. Many students lack proper guidance at home, so the school can serve as a strong moral foundation.

Another effective step is to introduce a peer-mentoring programme. Senior students with exemplary conduct can be paired with juniors to serve as role models. This will promote positive influence and reduce cases of bullying and exploitation.

Furthermore, the disciplinary committee should be empowered to handle cases promptly and fairly. Clear consequences such as community service, counselling, and parental involvement should be enforced to deter further misconduct.

In conclusion, Sir, I strongly believe that with timely action and collective effort, this worrying trend can be reversed. Our school has always stood out for discipline and excellence, and with these measures, I am confident we can restore order and uphold the good name of our institution.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,
Mr Splendite
Senior Prefect
