Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has said that the illegal refinery fire inferno at Abaezi in Ohaji Egbema Local Government Area of Imo Sttate would have been averted if the youths were gainfully employed.
In a press statement by his Media Aide, Ikenna Onuoha, Sen. Anyanwu, who is the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also commiserated with the deceased families for losing their loved ones, describing the incident as avoidable and unfortunate.
According to him, “every leader in the society should be involved in the business of employment creation for the youths, and avoid the idea of leaving everything to government alone. It is painful and shocking for us to lose our youths now that the entire society is struggling to overcome the raging insecurity”
“This incident would have been averted if those that died were gainfully employed. Until our leaders take it as a responsibility to engage or attract job opportunities for the youths, the business of oil bunkering and its likes will never be unattractive to our people”
Senator Anyanwu further regrets the loss of promising Imo youths who died while struggling illegally to survive the tormenting and excruciating APC administration in Nigeria, urging government to be proactive in handling the affairs of the helpless masses.
While calling on the youths to desist from indulging themselves in any form of of illicit trade, further enjoined government to create conducive environment that will give the people the leeway to survive.
