What you see above was The All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign billboard in 2015 revealing one of the many campaign promises promised by the APC/Buhari-led administration.
Since last year, Nigerian youths have been demanding a fulfillment of President Buhari’s election campaign promise of N5,000 monthly stipend for the unemployed.
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 graduate job seekers and the most vulnerable in the country.
