The President has finally cleared the air concerning the controversial
N5000 stipend his party had earlier promised unemployed youths in their
campaign manifesto.
In what appears to be a major U-turn from what his campaign promises
before the 2015 presidential election, president Mohammadu Buhari has
said he would not pay the N5000 stipend he promised to unemployed youth
in the country.
The president made the remarks at the weekend while on the visit in
Middle East. He said it was wise to use a collation of the funds to put
up infrastructures and empower them through agriculture for than to give
out monies.
He said: “This largesse N5,000 for the unemployed, I have got a slightly
different priority. I would rather do the infrastructure, the school
and correct them and empower agriculture, mining so that every able
bodied person can go and get work instead of giving 5,000, N5,000 to
those who don’t work.”
It will be recalled that All Progressives Congress, APC had during its
campaign supported the promise of paying N5,000 as monthly stipend to
the most vulnerable in the country.
