Idle Youths Should Go Get A Life Buhari Never Promised N5,000 – Labour Minister by zubbyman: 11:46am On Mar 04, 2016 |
The minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari never promised to pay idle youths N5000 stipends during the electioneering campaign as being insinuated. Speaking in Abuja during a courtesy visit to his office by the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Ngige said there are conditions to be met before the N5,000 can be accessed. He said, “The conditional cash transfer of 5000 which every one is shouting about, we did not promise to give it to people who are lying at home, people who have gotten schools certificate or degree and doing noting. It is rather conditional! And the conditionality is, it is either your are in our skill acquisition centre learning a trade and we pay you N5,000 and some N10,000 or you don’t know how to read and write in which we will take you and give you some community service job to do. Like cutting grass, filling potholes on federal highways, you assist road Marshals and jobs like that. “Some of these jobs might be under 5, 10, 15 or 20 hours in a week which will also determine the remuneration you will get in a week. So that is the terms for the high tensioned conditional cash transfer.” He said the administration of President Buhari will be focusing more on blue collar jobs while de-emphasizing white collar jobs. He said, “This government, the Buhari administration is also introducing new things that will bring palliative at the local government levels because the people are there. At least every one is from one LGA or the other. All the poverty alleviation programmes, all the intervention funds, all the social security programmes targeted for our people will be done at the local government levels. For example in this 2016 budget, this ministry is going to remodel and repackage employment and job creation.
