Former Chief Security Officer to late former Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, has called on the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call off the ongoing strike as every day lost is a disaster to the nation, “because we should not be seen as producing half-baked leaders for this country tomorrow.”
He also revealed that over 22 million young people in northern Nigeria walk the streets without anything to do hence his desire to partner the youth for peaceful coexistence.

Nasarawa State Council of Chiefs, Mustapha Agwai, noted that most young people become vulnerable in the hands of desperate people due to idleness and literacy level.
He also said legal process for his re-induction into the Army was in progress and would return to service as soon as the process is concluded.
His words: “I was arrested wrongly, humiliated and persecuted beyond the definition of law. It is also important to note that when you regain freedom there is a process you follow and our legal team is currently doing that and as soon as they conclude the process I will be back to service.”
He added that his visit to Lafia was to intimate the youths on his plans to partner with government to engage them in meaningful ventures.
He denounced insinuations that his tour of states since his release from prison was not in any way a form of political campaign for his ambition or anybody’s but to continue with his humanitarian works which he noted started way back in 1984. He added that his recent tour was anchored on his desire to calm the rising tension in the land orchestrated by unemployment.
“And remember, every soldier has sworn and signed to protect the integrity of his land; that is exactly what I am doing now,” he insisted.
