The FG has yesterday, said the payment of the N5,000 stipend to the unemployed Nigerian youths will commence next year. Minister of Youths and Sports, Mr Solomon Dalong, revealed this
yesterday in Abuja when he paid a condolence visit to the national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, at the national secretariat in Abuja on the demise of
Prince Abubakar Audu, the late governorship candidate of the party in
Kogi State election.
According to him “I would want the youths to understand that every promise must be backed up by budgetary provision and our promise to pay N5000 is not contained in the 2015 budget. So, definitely, it is going to begin in 2016 as we have made budgetary allocations for that.
It regretted that the payment could not take off immediately because it was not included in this year’s budget.
