Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment, on Thursday said indolent youths would not be beneficiaries of the N5,000 stipend that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government promised to give the unemployed.

Emphasising that there was nowhere in the world where the government would pay people to go and “sleep”, Ngige revealed that the programme would be in collaboration with some state governments.
He was speaking at the secretariat of the APC in Abuja.

“We won’t pay N5,000 for people to be indolent. No country in the world would pay people to go home and sleep and collect cash,” he said.

“Some people would get N5,000; we will pay some N10,000, and even for people in teacher conversion scheme, we would get more than N10,000, N15,000 as stipend during training, and they are going to be employed by state governments and the federal government in different institutions.

“It is not a programme we shall run alone; the state governments are going to buy into it, they are going to synchronize with us, we are going to do it in synergy.

“So, we want to get back our youths, capture them, teach them to use their hands, and when they use their hands, they can earn money by employing themselves.

“If you get a bricklayer, or a painter today, you cannot pay less than N5,000 for a daily job. And if somebody is able to work 20 days in a month for N5,000, he already has N100,000.

“But, it’s a sad story today. That is why Togolese, Ghannians, and people from Benin Republic, Niger Republic, are the ones who do all these skilled job for us.

“Eighty percent of workers in that specialised category in construction sites all over Nigeria, be it in Abuja, in Lagos or in Onitsha, come from outside, and we don’t know that little drops of water form an ocean. The money or the naira they are paid is repatriated to their country and all of them will come at the end of the day to put pressure on naira in the foreign exchange market.”

Bia Ngige, was it not you APC that promised to pay them?
They believed you, trusted them and voted you into power.

When they were shouting CHANJI, you didnt call them lazy.

Now, they remind you of your promise, and you call them lazy.

Anyway, I no blame you and your fellow scammers, I blame the short sighted and emotional youths who allowed themselves to be led astray.

So they have become lazy youths now abi?
