Employed people should pay 5% tax to help FG pay 5k to unemployed youths - Senator Ben Murray Bruce


In a series of tweets with #5kispossible hashtag, the Senator said it's possible for FG to pay unemployed youths the N5k it promised them. All we need to do is get every salary earner to pay 5% employment tax to help pay 5k to unemployed graduates.


See his tweets below:

Some people say it's impossible to pay unemployed graduates ₦5k because there is no database or money. That is not true .

All undergraduate Nigerians will have bank accounts with a BVN. They also have PVCs. Additionally they have National ID.  

With the details from the BVN, PVC and National ID card, it's possible to identify unemployed graduates and pay them  

Where would the money come from? Every salary earner should pay a 5% unemployment tax to help pay 5k to unemployed graduates  

Finally, I celebrate Mrs. Aisha Buhari for championing the cause of paying ₦5k to unemployed graduates
