Only Skills Acquisition by Youths Can Solve Nigeria’s Economic Problems
By [Your Name]

Nigeria’s economic troubles are neither new nor mysterious. From soaring youth unemployment and underemployment to an overreliance on oil and imported goods, the signs of economic instability are all too visible. But amid this bleak reality, one solution continues to shine like a beacon of hope skills acquisition by the youth. The long term stability and prosperity of Nigeria depend not just on policies or politics but on building a generation of skilled, self reliant, and innovative young Nigerians.

Let’s face it: the traditional educational system in Nigeria, while important, is no longer enough. Every year, thousands graduate from universities and polytechnics, but only a small fraction find meaningful employment. The rest are left to wander the job market, often unprepared for the demands of modern workspaces. Many of these graduates possess academic knowledge but lack marketable skills. This mismatch between what schools teach and what the economy needs is one of the root causes of our economic stagnation.

Skills acquisition, on the other hand, provides immediate and practical economic value. Whether it’s photography, programming, tailoring, catering, shoe making, metal work, or agriculture, vocational and technical skills open up endless opportunities. They enable young people to create jobs for themselves and others. In fact, most thriving small businesses in Nigeria today are driven by skills, not degrees. From makeup artists to app developers, skilled youths are not only surviving they’re succeeding.

Moreover, a nation’s economy grows when its people are productive. Skills acquisition leads to productivity. A young person who knows how to bake can feed a community. One who can fix phones or develop websites can service businesses across borders. When millions of youths are equipped with such capacities, they become engines of economic growth. This is how nations like India and Brazil have lifted large populations out of poverty by investing in human capital through skill development.

The beauty of skill based empowerment is that it reduces dependence. It discourages the overreliance on government jobs or foreign assistance. A skilled youth can work remotely for a company abroad, start a business, or become a consultant all without waiting for employment letters. This shift in mentality from seeking jobs to creating value is what Nigeria desperately needs.

In rural communities, skill acquisition can revolutionize agriculture, which remains Nigeria’s largest employer. With training in modern farming, processing, packaging, and agribusiness management, the agricultural sector can become more productive and attractive to youths. This not only improves food security but also boosts exports and reduces import dependence.

However, for this transformation to happen, government and private institutions must do more than pay lip service. Vocational centers must be modernized, technical education should be expanded, and start up capital or equipment should be made available to young entrepreneurs. Media campaigns should change public perception about skills, erasing the stigma attached to vocational work and promoting dignity in labour.

Families and communities also have roles to play. Parents should stop pushing every child toward white collar ambitions. Instead, they should encourage children to discover and develop their natural talents early on. Not everyone needs to wear a suit and tie to succeed; some of the most successful Nigerians today built their empires on skills, not certificates.

In conclusion, Nigeria’s economic revival lies not in promises or policies alone, but in the practical empowerment of its youth through skill acquisition. It is time to look beyond oil, beyond paper qualifications, and embrace a future built by skilled hands and creative minds. A skilled youth population is not just an asset it is the foundation of any sustainable economy. Nigeria must invest in its youths, not just through education, but through skills that build lives and lift nations.

No. 23 Opebi Road
Ikeja, Lagos State
June 24, 2025

The Divisional Police Officer
Ikeja Police Division
Ikeja, Lagos State

Subject: Concern Over Increasing Insecurity and Request for Enhanced Security Measures

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen and resident of Ikeja to express my growing worry about the rising cases of insecurity and violent crimes in our community. Over the past few months, many residents have experienced or witnessed incidents that have significantly undermined our sense of safety and well-being.

It is disheartening to note that armed robberies, thefts, and violent attacks have become more frequent. Just recently, a family in my neighborhood was attacked in broad daylight, and several shops along Opebi Road have been targeted by criminals. These events have left many people feeling vulnerable and anxious, affecting not only their personal lives but also local businesses and social activities.

The fear of crime has altered daily routines; people are now hesitant to move about freely, especially after sunset. Parents worry about their children’s safety, and many have resorted to staying indoors for longer hours. This atmosphere of fear is detrimental to the progress and harmony of our community.

I appreciate the efforts of the police force in maintaining law and order despite the challenges you face. However, I believe that more can be done to address this troubling trend. I would like to suggest some practical steps that could help improve security in Ikeja:

Increasing the number of police patrols, especially during vulnerable hours, would serve as a strong deterrent to criminals. Visible police presence reassures residents and discourages unlawful activities.

Engaging community members through neighborhood watch programs can create a collaborative environment where citizens actively report suspicious activities and support the police. This partnership can enhance intelligence and enable quicker responses.

Improving street lighting in poorly lit areas will reduce opportunities for criminals to operate under cover of darkness. Well-lit streets are essential for enhancing public safety.

Organizing regular town hall meetings and public forums where residents can voice their concerns and receive updates from the police will foster transparency and build trust.

Providing a reliable and accessible emergency contact system will ensure that residents can quickly reach the police when in distress.

I am confident that with your leadership and cooperation from the community, we can restore peace and security to Ikeja. I am willing to support any initiatives aimed at achieving this goal and encourage other residents to do the same.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this letter. I look forward to seeing positive changes that will make our community safer for everyone.

Yours faithfully,

[Your Full Name]

Dear Chuka,

How are you doing? I hope this letter meets you well. It’s been a while since we last spoke, and I really miss our usual gist. I wish I was writing under better circumstances, but I had to tell you what happened at Jide’s birthday party last weekend. Honestly, I’m still trying to process everything it felt like a scene from a movie.

The party started off nicely. It was held at that new lounge beside the GRA junction you know the one with the purple lights and outdoor sitting. The music was good, there was plenty to eat and drink, and Jide was beaming from ear to ear. Everyone was in high spirits. I even saw people I hadn’t seen in years. It really felt like a proper reunion.

But things took a sharp turn around 9:30pm.

Apparently, some guys from Jide’s estate had a longstanding beef with a group from the next street. At first, we noticed some murmuring and uneasy stares, but nobody thought it would escalate. Before we knew it, voices were being raised, and chairs started flying. I’m not exaggerating plastic chairs, bottles, even someone’s shoe flew past me.

People screamed and started running for cover. I ducked behind the drinks stand with Kemi, Jide’s cousin. It all happened so fast that some people didn’t even know what was going on until someone got hit with a broken bottle. One of the boys involved in the fight was bleeding from his forehead. A lady who tried to separate them got shoved and fell hard on the tiled floor. She cried out in pain, and I think she dislocated her arm.

Not long after that, police sirens wailed from a distance, and in less than ten minutes, officers stormed the place. They didn’t waste time they started grabbing people left and right. It was chaotic. Even some people who had nothing to do with the fight were picked up just because they were nearby. Jide tried to explain to the officers, but they barely listened. I felt really bad for him; his celebration turned into a nightmare.

As of now, three people are still in custody, including one of Jide’s childhood friends, Sodiq. The injured ones were taken to the hospital. We’re all trying to contribute money to settle medical bills and bail. Honestly, it was a traumatic night. I didn’t get home until past 1am, and even then, I couldn’t sleep. My heart was still racing from all the shouting and confusion.

Please let’s be careful with the places we go to. I never imagined something as simple as a birthday party could turn into such a disaster. Anyway, I just had to share this with you. I’ll keep you updated on how things go, especially with the people arrested.

Take care of yourself, and write back when you can. I really want to hear from you.

Yours Sincerely,
[Your name]

Speech by the Outgoing Head Prefect at the School’s Send Off Ceremony
Delivered by [Your Name]

Good day to our dear Principal, Vice Principals, esteemed teachers, parents, fellow students, friends, and my fellow prefects,

Standing here today fills me with a mix of emotions, gratitude, pride, nostalgia, and yes, a little sadness. It feels like only yesterday that I stood before you to take up the mantle as Head Prefect of this great school. And now, I am standing before you again but this time to say goodbye.

It has truly been a journey one that has shaped me, challenged me, and taught me the true meaning of leadership, teamwork, and responsibility. But I didn’t walk this road alone. I had a committed team of prefects beside me young people who carried out their duties with courage, sincerity, and a love for the school that cannot be measured.

We didn’t just wear the badges for decoration. We wore them as a sign of service. Together, we contributed to the rising tone of the school in several ways ways that I will always be proud of.

First, we tackled punctuality and discipline. At the beginning of our tenure, lateness was a silent but dangerous trend. We made it our mission to reverse that. Through morning gate checks, personal reminders, and example setting, we helped reduce lateness significantly. We did not just scold; we encouraged, and students responded.

Secondly, we helped improve orderliness during assemblies and break times. I can remember how chaotic it used to be students shoving, littering, or skipping lines. We introduced gentle but firm systems: queues, proper movement during lunch breaks, and cleanup rotas for classes. These small changes created a more peaceful and respectful atmosphere.

In academics, we also played our part. Many of us organized peer tutorial sessions after school and during weekends. We mentored juniors, especially those preparing for BECE and SSCE. We reminded them that discipline is not just about obeying rules but also about staying focused in class and taking responsibility for their future.

Also, in hygiene and cleanliness, we took initiative. Together with the health prefect and sanitation team, we organized general clean up exercises and launched the “Keep It Clean” campaign. It was simple, but it created awareness about keeping our environment neat not just when teachers are watching, but always.

Perhaps most importantly, we tried to lead by example. We knew eyes were always watching us. So we made an effort to dress well, speak respectfully, attend classes, and treat others with fairness. We were not perfect far from it but we tried. And I believe that in our own small way, we left behind a tone of seriousness, respect, and responsibility.

Today, as we take our final bow, I want to sincerely thank our Principal and staff for trusting us and supporting our ideas. I also thank every student who cooperated with us even when it was tough. To my fellow prefects you were not just teammates, you became family. I will never forget the laughter, the meetings, the stress, and the victories we shared.

To the incoming prefects our time is up, and now the torch is in your hands. Carry it higher. Build on what we started. Lead with heart, not just authority. And always remember that leadership is service.

Finally, to this great school that gave me the platform to discover my voice and purpose thank you. You will always be a part of me.

Thank you all, and God bless you.
