Youths in North, East need to patiently hear story of civil war – Emir of Keffi

Emir of Keffi, Dr Shehu Yamusa has warned Nigerians to desist from tendencies towards disintegration of the country.
He appealed to youths in North and East to allow peace reign.

Yamusa stated that the two opposing agitators were ignorant of the horror that happened during 1966-1970 civil in Nigeria and advised them to patiently listen to what transpired during the period.
He noted that the northerners had always been their brother’s keepers, adding that they should live happily to improve on the commercial transactions in their domains for economic prosperity rather than issue quit notice.
“The Igbos and Northerners fought for the Nigerian independence and having secured it, it must be enjoyed by all because we are one”, he said.

On calls for the restructuring of Nigeria, the emir said that would end Nigeria’s problems.
“With discipline and commitment, Nigeria would be a better place,” he said.
On the challenge, the monarch called on the government to invest more in farming.

“The diversification of economy is very important because it will assist in raising the revenue generation benchmark as well as the creation of expertise in different fields.
“Nigeria is highly endowed, especially with natural resources, with so many deposits in different states of the federation.
“All that is needed is the commitment for the natural resources to be developed for revenue and less reliance on federal allocation”‎, he added.
