As today marks the International Youth Day, it is expedient for everyone, most especially the Youths to note that adherence to the law of the land is a pathway to National Upliftment and productivity.

It is the actions of any Nations Citizenry that determine the outcome of development within the Nation or other way round.

As a matter of fact, Nigeria as a case study, the vast exorbitant majority of Nigeria’s population constitute the Youth. The strength of any Nation or society is in the Youth.

Nigeria Youth must come to the realization that the destiny of this Nation is embedded in them, therefore the Youth needs to be properly nurtured.

There are many platforms within the Nation for the Youth to be able to exercise their civic responsibilities, however the Youth ought to utilize those platform judiciously.

The Youth shouldn’t be used as victims of lawlessness, rather they must be seen as agent of transformations. If only the Youth of any Nation most especially the Youth of Nigeria can channel their strength to the right course, there will be stability and order within each Nations.

Most times when investigation is being carried out we realize that most victims of crime constitute the young force (Youth).

If the Youth are properly nurtured and great attention is given to them by the Government, whereby policies of each government of the world are friendly to the Youth then we can experience the desired good life as a Nation.
