THE traditional ruler of the ancient kingdom of Awka, Eze-uzu, Obi Gibson Nwosu, has praised the Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo for what he described as a remarkable improvement in the supply and quality of electricity in the Anambra state in the last six weeks.<\/p>\n

  Comparing the current situation to what it had been, the monarch, who doubles as the Chancellor of Uthman Danfodio University,<\/p>\n

Sokoto, noted that the improved regular electricity supply has already started to boost the economy of the state and quality of life of citizens.<\/p>\n

  Nwosu, therefore, urged the Federal Government to step up action in the reform of the sector to arrest the bourgeoning unemployment and the attendant increase in criminal activities nationwide.<\/p>\n

  He noted that he was hopeful that the on-going unbundling of the sector would attract investors who would tackle the skill required in the running of the sector effectively.<\/p>\n

  The deputy chairman of the traditional council of the state said he was, however, worried over the high rate of unemployment in the country.<\/p>\n

  The monarch, who spoke yesterday in his palace while interacting with journalists in Awka, noted that if the country could be able to fix the unemployment of youths, a number of social vices would become a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

  He, however, maintained that unemployment is not peculiar to Anambra or Nigeria, adding that the Western world too has its own share of joblessness.<\/p>\n

 Nwosu said that unemployment was becoming worrisome state because unemployment is on a large scale and that the situation is compounded by the simple fact that a good number of industries that are supposed<\/p>\n

to engage the teeming unemployed and idle youths.<\/p>\n

  The Eze-uzu, also harped on the need to fix  Oji River power plant, which he said is capable of supplying  electricity needs of the entire eastern states. <\/p>\n
