The President noted that 'security is everybody's business'. This way is to undercover crime and not to fight crime with guns. It is to act as crime stoppers to give information, create awareness, educate and prevent crimes.

'Many law enforcement security agencies in Nigeria are not trained for crime awareness, enlightenment and prevention of crimes from the public.'

'The ECAPI has been the only security non-governmental agency in Nigeria trained involving crime awareness, educates and prevents by providing verifiable and undiluted information to the law enforcement agencies, Adam says.

Mama Diaspora noted that Npower initiative is playing a major role in engaging Nigerian youth, 'Npower initiative by Federal Government is good step in a right direction which most of the youth key into and benefitted.'

'In similar ways, the private sector, non-governmental organization and Individuals should look for other projects to support the government so as to reduce unemployment and get youth engaged to reduce crimes', Ajayi urged.
