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.
