The Emir, during the traditional ‘Hawan Nasarawa’ on Sunday said the violence, which left many reportedly injured, could have been averted if youth in the state were employed.
“I am calling on political leaders to caution their followers against political violence and thuggery.
“If the youth are employed or empowered, the level of hardship faced by many families will reduce,” Sanusi said.
The Emir, who further prayed for peace and unity in the country, equally urged the Federal Government to resuscitate agriculture in the country for self-sufficiency in food production.
