Okorocha Okays Buhari’s Decision Not To Payn5,000 Stipend by seeker1211: 10:40pm On Feb 29, 2016 |
– Governor Okorocha of Imo state has backed
President Buhari’s decision not to pay N5,000 stipend
to unemployed graduates
– He said paying money for doing nothing will bred
laziness among the youth
– Okorocha rather the fund should be channeled to
the provision of infrastructure development that will
aid development
He made this known when he interacted with State House
Correspondents explaining that that giving physical cash
was not necessary.
Okorocha said this after a private meeting with Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja,
the governor said that giving the money might create
more problems than anyone could think of.
He added the stipend it may lead to marrying a harem of
women as wives and increased intake of alcoholic drinks.
The governor stressed further that it would have been a
great idea to pay the money but that there were many
other ways to redeem the pledge.
Recall, President Buhari dropped a shocker less than 24-
hour ago, that he will not honour his campaign promise
to pay N5000 to each unemployed Nigerian.
He made the remark while speaking in Saudi Arabia as he
continued his visit to the Middle East over the weekend.
Buhari said he would rather focus on funding the
construction of infrastructure, as well as education,
agriculture and mining to create employment
opportunities for able bodied young men. |
