President Muhammadu Buhari has other ideas about the N5000 monthly stipend earlier promised unemployed and vulnerable Nigerians.
The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC had promised during the last general elections to pay out a monthly stipend of N5000 to the most vulnerable and unemployed Nigerians.
However, speaking in Saudi Arabia over the weekend in continuation of his tour of the Middle East, Buhari said he would now focus on funding the construction of infrastructure, education, agriculture and mining to create employment opportunities for able bodied Nigerians.
“This largesse of 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 N5,000 to those who don’t work,” President Buhari said.
