The federal government has expressed concern over
youth restiveness in the country at the heels of the coming elections.
The Minister of Youths Development, Mrs Salome Jankada, made the assertion Monday in Jos, during a courtesy call on Plateau Governor, Chief Michael Botmang.
Jankada said it was for this reason that the federal government decided to create her ministry to take care of the peculiar needs of the nation's youths.
She said she was in Jos as part of government's effort to ensure that peace reign in the country through interactive session with the youth.
According to her, the interactive session will provide the best platform for the youth to air their grievances and proffer solutions to them.
Responding, Botmang said the creation of the new ministry was a wise decision to address the problems of youths.
Botmang said he would soon lay the foundation of a permanent NYSC orientation camp for the state in Magu local government area.
