President Bola Tinubu has approved a monthly stipend of N50,000 for 10,000 Niger Delta youths to mitigate current hardship in the country.

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, announced this during the Niger Delta Sensitisation Conference for ethnic nationalities and youths and women in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. He said the payment would be made under the NDDC Youth Intensive Scheme and would last for an initial 12 months with the possibility of extension.

Mr Akpabio emphasised that this move was part of Tinubu’s efforts to address the region’s challenges and urged against participation in the national protest scheduled for August 1. “The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) will implement this scheme immediately to support 10,000 youths with N50,000 monthly to cushion the current hardship.

We acknowledge the severe impact caused by oil and gas activities in the Niger Delta and are taking prompt action to address these issues. The economic challenges in our nation are known by President Tinubu and is already receiving required attention to address them,” he said.

Mr Akpabio said that Tinubu had also approved the simultaneous commencement of the Lagos to Calabar coastal highway project from both states, which is expected to create thousands of jobs for the region’s youths.
According to him, the forthcoming national protest was orchestrated by faceless people aiming to instigate chaos and d+mage across the country.

“There is nothing in the 10 points agenda for the national protest that captures the interest of the Niger Delta. The organisers are merely copycats imitating the situation in Kenya, not minding the potential anarchy their protest will bring upon this country. The issues facing the country are currently being addressed, and so, there is absolutely no need to protest,” he stated.

The senate president pointed out that necessary funds were being allocated for critical projects to meet the needs and dreams of the Niger Delta people.
He urged for patience as the Federal Government’s policies and programmes take effect, emphasising that one year was too short a timeframe to measure its success.

Saka manje

How many states make up Niger delta?
Divide the 10,000 youths by the number of Niger delta states.

That's 1,111 youths for each of 9 states of NDDC. Too small to drown the voice of TINUBULATION.

I love this.

If it can be increased to 100k monthly for them, I will aso appreciate that.

The Niger Delta people deserves everything they can get from the government.

Only 10,000 youths are in the Niger Delta. Very good.

Good move..

But then again,we all know the money will definitely end up in the hands of a few generals just like in the case of the amnesty...

Why only Nigeria Delta region?

Abi na wash?

Nigerians are grateful for President TINUBU's commitment to empowering our youth in the Niger Delta. This initiative is a game changer!

That is 500million monthly for 12 month. Even if 1000 states is in the Niger Delta, something is better than nothing.

Let them complain themselves, don't use your bad belle on them.

If their governors also contribute, their senators, and them complement FG, they can increase that value to 150k since they own the oil.

It is under NDDC.

Why not Niger Delta region?

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) will implement this scheme immediately to support 10,000 youths with N50,000 monthly to cushion the current hardship.

LegendHero:
It is under NDDC.

Why not Niger Delta region?

Oh I see.

Let the regions who have been given Development Commission should use it wisely. The commission should be mainly in empowering the youths from their regions

helinues:
Oh I see.

Let those who have been given Development commission should use use it wisely.

Yes, I think we also have some other development commission which is at infant stage.

What FG should just do is to make sure it truly get into the hand of the common people. The best way is to have a website where you publish names of people that get all this grants, instead of all this opaqueness.

FG'S own is to disburse funds to them to function, the implementation is left with the commission executives as long as they are sincere with themselves

Is there a registered list of names of the youths of Niger Delta.
All these statements and promises na scam.

APC and sharing money upandan
Almajiri Peoples Congress: Bambiala
Don't give a man fish, teach him to fish
50k is less than$40
That's just an average of $1 per day
Haba!!

Tinubu really knows how to make a difference in the lives of our youths. This N50,000 monthly stipend is a game changer for the Niger Delta.

I hope the youths make good use of this opportunity and channel the funds into something productive. With leadership like this, the future looks brighter!

I am waiting! You can see it’s just $125.

Shame Tinubu and send that to 4 Nairalander now. If you can’t, then carry your broke ass and shuut it up!!

Really great

I will still advocate increasing the productivity of these youths rather than throwing monies at their problems

I dey laff!

We don't need all this short cut president Tinubu., what we need is a better and standard economy.

Finally, some good news for our youths!

This is the kind of leadership we need to empower the next generation.

President Tinubu is truly showing that he cares about the future of Nigeria.

Let's hope this is just the beginning of more initiatives like this.

No, you are the one that said the money is chicken change. You are the one badmouthing it that it’s cheap.

Show workings and stop chocho Cho, now give 4 Nairalander 50k each.

I will match that amount with 200k too. Are you game?

If you are not game, then carry your self and stop all this Cho Cho.

If FG do nothing you cry, FG said they’re giving 10,000 youth 50k monthly for 12month, you said it’s chicken change.

Now give that chicken change to 4 people randomly so we can agree it’s too small.

If you can’t then keep your broke mouth shutt!!

The protest must go on, if Tinubu likes, he should keep running out from pillar to post

1. 50k is chicken change. If it is big money to you, that's your problem
2. Can you explain what 50k will do for anyone in a month compared to them getting a decent job not least a Niger Deltan? Do you know that the Niger Delta is the most expensive region in this country? Even more than Lagos and Abuja.
3. So after the 12 months, What are they getting next?
4. I asked you to send 200k each to 4 people. That's how to prove you have money. 50k is chicken change!!
