The resolution reads: “The joint security meeting emphasised the need for job creation as a fundamental tool to reduce unemployment and make the youths self-reliant, thereby reducing the menace of unemployment.

“The meeting agreed on the adequate provision of logistics support to the security agencies by both the federal and state governments to sustain surveillance in border communities.”
