Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State on Tuesday said that Nigeria cannot afford another civil war that tore every fabric of the country.
El-Rufai spoke at the closing ceremony of the orientation course organized for members of the 2022 Batch B (Stream 2) National Youth Service Corps members posted to Kaduna.
The governor urged the youths not to fan the embers of violence and war in Nigeria.
Represented by the State’s Acting Governor, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, El-Rufai said: “The youth must remember that the NYSC came into being after the civil war that tore every fabric of the Nigerian state. The war was a needless savagery that we cannot afford to repeat.
“Nigerian youths must, therefore, distance themselves from fanning the embers of violence and war in Nigeria.”
