Oliver Twist.

Government has given you free 30k monthly stipends but you don't want others to benefit.

Greedy people. 600k for what exactly? Don't you people know how to read agreements?

Buhari should just ignore them.
I'm surprised they are even still paying attention to them, they overstayed and prevented new beneficiaries from coming in. Time to finally go, they are protesting and making greedy demands.

You were employed and told you will exit in 24months.

1. What did you do with your money and time?
2. A good number had other jobs while others had spare time to do other things
3. Let's stop depending on the government for everything

What you are saying doesn't relate to the Npower issue. Yes, [s]Govt promised nigerians heaven on earth but regarding [/s]the Npower issue, they all signed the agreement. They should stop the unnecessary blackmail
Government promised Nigerians? Who is talking about the government's fake promises? I'm referring to specific promises made to these volunteers.

But come to think of it, why are you trying to brush off the fact that this government made fake and deceitful promises which they've failed to fulfill any like it's normal? Your type are the problem we have in this country. You can't demand for accountability.

Agreement is agreement. They've used almost 3yrs, others are equally jobless like them, let them also enjoy their 30k.

But she spent double that figure in two weeks feeding imaginary school children. The Npower volunteers should just prepare for a bigger protest. This government only reacts to violence.

The government promised them heaven and earth before and during the election period, they must be held accountable for every promise.
The election promise covers both the current beneficiaries that are protesting and the incoming ones. Understand that.

Stop using that word "free 30k". Don't be ignorant. Some beneficiaries worked very well for whatever they got yet still they were owed...batch B were promised devices which was a part of the agreement. They should pay them and give them their devices and let them go. The country is a failed system and it has failed you too from the way you reason and that's why you can't even hold them accountable accordingly. In case you don't know and I'm 100% sure you don't know..that some units will suffer when some beneficiaries exit the program.
Something is fundamentally wrong with your country and you know it. Prof yen yen yen.

If you are part of those castigating the Npower volunteers for demanding for either permanency or a grant to start a business after 2-4 years in service to the nation, then you need to reconsider your humanity. Given, there is an agreement to serve for 2 years but imagine 500,000 youths disengaged without proper plan. That is sucidal! Some of them, having served for close to 4 years in the programme, can no longer apply for job due to age barrier. At least let government give them grants or reasonable amount of loan (not N100,000 being proposed under GEEP initiative) to start their lives and contribute to the economy.

I understand that it is very difficult for government to employ 500,000 people at once, but government can afford N600,000 grant/loan for the beneficiaries to start something and feed their families.

Before you judge, put yourself in their shoes.

Govt promised the volunteers 2 years contract with 30k stipend monthly. Did Govt keep to it or not? Stop acting all emotional.

Let's say employing 500 thousand graduate is a futile journey but how does giving a graduate grant of 600 thousand a futile journey? Is it that they dont deserve it or what?

Federal government really needs to consider the grant offer by this graduate, atleast they can afford it.

That is what we said then and keep on saying now.

It is our subculture of indolence that gave rise to the 'allocation mentality' operating in our national financial structure that has found its way into the social safety nets assembled by this goverment.

While they thought it will create jobs but alas as we have operated for almost sixty years it has created only dependency, and aggravated a viscious cycle of poverty because as we speak 'mouths have been widened'.

I bet you. Ask anyone of them what they have done with all the resources and they will give you a typical 'Nigerianesque' reply. 'I used it to SOLVE my problems', none of which is the lack of productivity.

That is why I have always said and in agreement with Lamido Sanusi that a structure that always puts money ahead of productivity, a contracting economy or contractors paradise, a rent seeking economy can never lead to development.

The real grassroots of fundamental development is TO REWARD PRODUCTIVITY NOT SEEK TO BUY PRODUCTIVITY. If States are to develop then so called allocations should only be made to productivity. If N-Power is to work then the goverment should only be paying FOR WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.

Today you have N-power, tomorrow the Keyamo jobs, same error. Why can't anyone in goverment connect the dots and seek a structure where goverment's deficit in infrastructure, power, education, health be met with the skills these beneficiaries venture into and use the funds to be allocated to them as payment for deliverables in these fields.

Practically speaking. Why can't they be saddled with the task for instance of developing test kits, sanitary consumables, contact tracing, medical supplies in this Covid 19 battle. Why can't they be led towards channels where goverment presently expends collosal amounts of money it doesn't have to provide materials and services it needs.

Why should goverment spend its scarce resources on my project to learn to make biscuits when it is taking loans to 'contract' another Nigerian to buy face masks from China.

We need our social naira to go to our pressing social NEEDS then we are sure it is money well spent. Only that will guarantee productivity and prevent a culture of irresponsible dependency.

You are signing SUKUK for roads while you have teams of protesters outside your gates....what kind of leaders do we have in Nigeria for goodness sake. No vision at all.

A suggestion ma'am Mrs minister, why not stop the yeye school feeding program that gulp billions of naira and deploy the funds and resources to empower these unemployed graduates?

Why not just aim for the ultimate and set up factories / businesses that produce the very things these money are meant to buy. That's the crux and core of economy or money chase - production. What the govt is doing is a lazy approach that's meant to quickly distribute money to people. What we need is a deep rooted approach that invests that money in productive ventures like industries. These industries will generated more sustainable employments and won't weight down govt's finances once they navigate the initial stage.

What I don't understand is why you think 1000 naira per day for two years can really empower anyone in Nigeria. They're greedy for receiving 1k naira per day for two years, according to you. But those stealing their future are what exactly? Your future too! U go receive sense one day

I will tell you what is fundamentally wrong here. The same people told the Npower beneficiaries that their voters' cards is their assured way to permanency when they knew that it was impossible!
Why taking 500,000 unemployed graduates off the streets for two years only to return them to the same place? What have they solved in that regard? Taking another 400,000 unemployed graduates off the streets and return them to the streets after one year! That's madness!

If goverment had simply stated that at the end of the scheme they will conduct something like a trade fair where goods and services developed along set criteria of national needs will be displayed and vetted by key private sector players these folks will be busy today.

But when you just throw out money without direction, plans, targets, expectations you get nothing.

N-power should be an important component of a greater national development strategy to either create a small businesses regime which will service bigger, leading, key industry and soak up the huge number of unemployed youth or a deliberate strategy to recreate the anhiliated middle class.

But what it is now, no one knows for it seems to have only created a horde of sophisticated beggars and dependants.

Poor strategy, poor vision.

They probably shouldn't have taken the offer in the first place in my opinion.

So many things are wrong in this country especially unemployment, the Buhari government is really trying in that regard.

How many have benefitted from government before Buhari came in? Sure-P by Jonathan was a huge fraud but nobody complained. Let them do their 2yrs and allow others do theirs.
