I Would’ve Preferred To Build More Schools, Infrastructure, Others Than Give Youths N5,000 Monthly For Doing Nothing – Buhari

APC-BillboardPresident Muhammadu Buhari yesterday voiced his personal opinion on the N5,000 monthly stipend for unemployed youth in the country, saying he would have preferred a situation where the money is used to fund infrastructural projects and empower the youth.
President Buhari made this known yesterday in Doha, Qatar, where he is billed to attend the meeting of Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), before returning to Nigeria on Monday.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, had in its campaign manifesto, promised to pay unemployed youth and vulnerable Nigerians a monthly stipend of N5,000.
But Buhari yesterday said he had a “slightly different priority” than giving out N5,000 to unemployed youth.
“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 N5,000 to those who don’t work”, the president said.
