Oba Makama made the call in a statement available to our correspondent on Thursday.
He appealed to the Federal and state governments to intensify the implementation of programmes and policies designed to empower millions of struggling youths across the country.

The Oba, who said Amnesty International had the right to operate legally anywhere, however, contended that as an international NGO, the association claiming to have tracked troops of a sovereign nation and announcing same amounted to attacks on national security.
He added that as a Nigerian, he was worried that a foreign NGO could admit carrying out espionage activities against the Nigeria Army with an air of impunity.
He, therefore, asked relevant authorities to probe the claim, and possibly extradite them from Nigeria.
“I can’t imagine a foreign NGO operating in America to be so bold and claimed he tracked troops movement from pentagon to a particular location and still remains in American soil,” the Oba said.

However, Oba Oyelude commiserated with all Nigerians who lost their loved ones and properties in the crises praying that God would wipe off their tears.
He also mourned the security officers who died in line of duty noting that the security services they belong should not abandon the families left behind by the gallant officers.
