The federal government has announced plans to create more jobs for the nation’s unemployed youths as part of measures in tackling insecurity in the country.

The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr Mohammed Adoke, announced this at the opening of a two-day peace and security summit organised by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Abuja, where he promised that the government will continue to pursue genuine reconciliation of all aggrieved persons.

He said the attacks by terrorists are an attack on the core values of the nation which the government is working hard to overcome.

However, a former Head of State, retired General Muhammadu Buhari, who was also at the summit, argued that the nation can do better in managing the security situation than what obtains now.

Also speaking, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mariam Aloma-Mukhtar, noted that peace is attainable when leaders resort to dialogue.

On his part, a former Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS), Albert Horsfall, stressed the need for justice and fair play as a panacea for peace just as the president of the NBA, Okey Wali, expressed optimism that the summit will proffer solutions to the nation’s security challenges.

The summit titled, Comprehensive and Sustainable Peace and Security in a Plural Society, was convened to find ways of ensuring peace in the country.
