The Rivers State governor, Barr Nyesom Wike’s directive for the profiling of youth organizations in the state with the Department of State Security (DSS) before they commence operations had been adjudged to be an ideal security initiative.
Comrade Chinwendu Orduwa, former national deputy president, National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), said this when he spoke in an interview with newsmen, Wednesday at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa.
Orduwa, who arrived with another youth leader in the state, Barr Collins Nna, noted that the governor’s directive will aid tremendously in enhancing security situation in the state.
According to him, the governor’s order will smoke out some miscreants who have been masquerading under the cover of youth body, thereby, restoring the pride in youth organizations.
The former NYCN leader maintained that Wike “was only out to right the wrongs and to deliver in line with his electoral promises, which is judiciously noted in the state.”
He also called on youth organizations in the state to see this as a way of improving youth bodies for better functioning and integration with government programmes and policies.
The Ikwerre-born leader also charged youths to ensure that they comply with the governor’s directives, to provide a smooth platform for their organizations.
He noted that since most crimes are committed by young people, any form of check on them would go a long way in curtailing crime and related offences.
He further called on the DSS not to be a clog in the process, but to work in line with the provisions of the law, adding that any form of compromise on the side of the security agent will not only jeopardize the system, but will capsize the security situation of the state.
The ex-youth leader further urged all residents of the state to join hands with the governor to fight insecurity and any form of restiveness.
Meanwhile, he had also expressed satisfaction with Governor Wike over the high level of quality projects delivered in his 100 days in office of his second term administration.
