The Federal Government has deployed a mobile application known as “Mobiliser” meant for youths to report crimes and criminalities in their areas within their comfort zones.
The Director-General (DG), National Orientation Agency (NOA), Issa Lanre-Onilu, announced this yesterday, during a meeting with media executives and top editors, at National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Abuja.
The DG, who was represented by the Director of Press, Paul Odenyi, said if youths knew a lot of lofty programmes the government has for them, they would embrace them and won’t engage in any form of violence.
He said: “We know and are aware that it is very important to carry youths along in whatever programmes we do. I want to, therefore, use this medium to inform you that at the National Orientation Agency, we now have an app called ‘Mobiliser’, which Nigerian youth can download on their mobile phones and report crimes in their areas”.
