The Southwest Youth Movement (SWYM), comprising six states in the region, have lauded the President Muhammadu Buhari for his achievements.
Mr Temitope Ogunlade, the Chairman of SWYM, made the commendation at a news conference in Abuja.

Ogunlade said the group had monitored the programmes of the Buhari administration since inception in 2015 and found them to be beneficial to the people.
“Nigerians have found it so good in terms of developmental drive and collaborative efforts between federal and state governments.
“The president Buhari-led administration has demonstrated a single minded commitment to upgrade and develop the nation’s transport infrastructure, such as road and railway networks across the six geo-political zones,’’ he said.
Ogunlade said it was under the administration that Ministry of Power, Works and Housing got unprecedented budget releases to ensure the rehabilitation of decayed infrastructure.
He said under Buhari, the Social Safety Net, the largest programme in the history of Nigeria and N-Power employed millions of youths and paid them N30,000 each as monthly allowance.
Also, the administration is feeding millions of primary school children under the Home Grown School Feeding Programme in over 8,587 schools across 19 states and in addition employs thousands of cooks, he said.
Ogunlade said Buhari recently approved the establishment of Modular Refineries in the Niger Delta to curb the challenges of unemployment and scarcity of petroleum products.
He said under the circumstance, Nigerians ought to support the president to continue with his good work.
The commendation is in line with the list of achievements released by Mr Garba Shehu, one of the spokesmen of government.
Shehu said:
Last year, the World Bank ranked Nigeria among the top 10 reforming economies in the world. This was clearly in recognition of the thorough and rigorous growth and development-oriented economic policies of the Buhari Administration.
Today, investors and business men and women from around the world can arrive in Nigeria and get their visas right at the airport without any hassle. This is just one of the many reasons why Nigeria has advanced 24 steps in the global ‘Ease of Doing Business’ rankings of the World Bank.
The government is spending more on infrastructure than previous administrations, despite earning barely half of what the country earned from oil between 2011 and 2014 when the product was selling for an average of $110 per barrel. The latest GDP figures show continued growth after the Buhari administration successfully brought the country out of recession, with virtually all sectors of the economy now on the rebound, and significant progress recorded in agriculture.
This administration has also ushered in significant progress in agriculture, where output has risen in local production, and Nigeria is now importing 80-90 percent less rice than in previous years.
Fertilizer plants have been resuscitated, prices have dropped. More and more young people are going into agriculture, being able, for the first time, to see farming as a viable endeavour. Has anyone heard of the Graduates-in-Agriculture Scheme in several states of the federation, a self-driven, government-assisted programme by which our young men and women are stopping their endless wait for white-collar jobs and creating wealth for themselves and the nation?
Power generation and distribution have more than doubled from 2015 when President Buhari took power to the present.
In his address at the 10th Bola Tinubu Colloquium a week ago, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo reported that the Buhari administration has put in place “an audacious Social Investment Programme to the tune of N500 billion, the largest pro-poor programme in our nation’s history, and the largest social safety net, at least in Sub-Saharan Africa. This was despite the fact that by 2015, oil prices fell by over 50% and our production also fell from over 2 million barrels a day to less than 700,000 barrels a day, sometimes even 500,000 barrels in 2016.

“We have seen today the empirical evidence of the successes of this programme, and all of that is evident for us to see and listen to several testimonies and stories. 200,000 jobs for undergraduates employed under the N-Power programme, 300,000 more waiting to be employed; they have been pre-selected; over 7 million children being fed daily in 22 States so far; beneficiaries of micro-credit loans going to about 300,000; and almost 300,000 households benefiting from conditional cash transfers.”
In line with campaign promises, this administration is spending trillions of Naira to build railways, roads and ramp up power supplies. On this spending on infrastructure the Vice President’s words were:
“In 2014, when oil was at between 100 dollars and 114 dollars a barrel, the actual releases for capital for three ministries – Power, Works and Housing – then they were three separate ministries, was in total N99 billion; while Transportation got 14 billion, and Agriculture got 15 billion. I am talking about actual releases, not budgeted, what they actually got. Let us compare that with capital releases to the same ministries in 2017, when oil price was between $50 and $60 a barrel, N415 Billion for Power, Works & Housing, N80 Billion for Transportation; N65 Billion for Agriculture; totalling N560 Billion, in a time when we were earning at least 50% less than we were earning in 2014.”
We wish, however, to caution that these comments should not be misconstrued as denying that there is more that needs to be done, as the current administration is relentless and determined to continue in its task of continuously improving the lot of Nigerians.
We are only saying that we must learn to pause and count our blessings. The loud voices of critics with selfish ambitions and ulterior motives should not be a veil that keeps Nigerians blind to the many ways God has blessed us and improved our lot through the Buhari administration.

Wh south West, abeg let them speak for themselves and their family.

I'm sure SE & SS are not mostly affected by this hardship this administration inflicted on Nigeria, so they have nothing to worry let Buhari continue. Let the herdsmen massacre continue if is what they want, let the looting in disguise continue if is what they want, we are standing aside watching how things play out.

What and who are SW youth? Some group of crook that will receive money just to praise this directionless government?

No be only SW youth, na NS youth...

Let's see pictures of the youth.

We

Hydraulic soup a.k.a whichever way the wind blow not surprise at all










Oh yes member group

See them

When we call them cowards we know what we are saying

I will be satisfied to waste my Vote on Buhari rather than voting back PDP to power, no going back, they have already waste 16years of Democracy in Nigeria....No vacancy in Aso Rock, here in South west we promise the president 80% of vote this time around, 20% for kowa party and others

A slave will always be a slave no matter his level of education

Suffering Vote.

Unfortunately for Nigeria's future, tribalistic idiots like the one above posting garish pictures will do more to re-elect the manifestly incompetent Buhari than any amount of official APC propaganda.

O thou "Southwest Youth", I wish you speedy recovery from this your malady.

Get well soon!

These ones have cued into the latest money industry:endorsing Buhari for their own share of the treasury.From fake Ibo youths to fake northern pastors and now fake swestern youths.
I am sure none of these clowns can even get Buhari a single vote from their immediate family members.

i was thinking today that it wont be a bad thing really if buhari wins a second term...expecially if the whole Igbo presidency thing works in 2023.

We wont really lose much in the south east or ss. Plus if roachas bcoms president, he wont be a push over....like GEJ. And he may even want to install his son inlaw as vp when he finishes his presidency....more power to igbo ppl if u ask me.

Let mediocrity reign. Why we go want carry last?

And some NLers believe this crap?

All these fools they paid 3k just to start being microphone and camera starved are hear again. Which stupid south west youths would goan say this to media?

Any popular fellow among them?

How did they reach this Mount Everest lie in a few days without going to 8states to gather info and opinion?


How much were these few paid? 3k/4years


Calculating, that's less that 800naira/year. Is that how cheap your brains are?

i am still searching for it

The "baba so wipe" group.

I expect more mushroom 'groups' to endorse Mr Integrity.

All eyes on the $1b money to election campaign fight Boko Haram.

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN

In reality, the main "industry" in SW cities currently is pool betting.

Disilussioned SW professionals are patronising travel agencies in droves to find a way of escape before 2019.

I agree with south west youths

Oblong skulls and coneheads doing what they know how to do best..as*-licking their northern masters and stuppiddity even in the face of severe hunger and deprivation caused by buhari and his goons...mumu people.
