Arewa Youths Consultative Councils, Kano State Chapter on Saturday adopted a sustainable security project to combat banditry and other violent crimes across the 19 Northern states.

The security strategy tagged, “Project SUSPRONS 2021-2031,” targets 2,750,000 youths across the region which centred around rejuvenating the psyche of the Northern Youths to resist being used as tools for violent crimes in the region.

Zayad Ayuba Alhaji, the National President of the council who spoke in Kano during its meetings said “we are here to talk senses to ourselves and bring about means that will be aimed at proffering solutions to the insecurity problems that bedevilled Northern Nigeria.”

Ayuba Alhaji disclosed that the historic meeting would come up on how to address banditry, kidnapping and other social atrocities before 2031.

He stressed “This project, called SUSPRONS will engage youths in the whole 19 Northern states across the federation to work assiduously in making it history before 2031.

The Arewa Youth stalwart explained that the project will discourage recruitment of youth into banditry, kidnapping, Boko Haram among other criminal acts.”

Similarly, the group planned to build the capacity of women to actively play their roles as Mother’s and to empower them in countering violent extremisms and Radicalism amongst the Children.

Zayad said the regional body planned to discourage the recruitment of Youths into various criminal gangs, banditry and jihadist groups through awareness and capacity development initiatives.

“The overall projects are targeting two million, seven hundred and fifty thousand Youths across the 19 States of the North plus Abuja. We are establishing a permanent and reliable avenue for engagement and sensitization of young people across North for them to rise up against insecurities in the region,” he said.
