President Muhammadu Buhari said unsuitable qualifications limit the employment prospects and potential of the Nigerian youth to contribute to national development.

The president spoke at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday on the occasion of the 2015 International Youth Day celebrations.

He said “although education attainment by the Nigerian youth has increased significantly in the last decade, the relevance of curricula, quality of education and the fit with skills required by the job market still remains a challenge for the country. Unsuitable qualifications limit our young peoples’ employment prospects and potential to contribute to national development.”

The president said the youth had written their names in history and would be remembered as true heroes of the country’s democracy and architects of change.

“The role you played, individually and collectively, in not only being peaceful members of the electorate but also galvanising the social media platform and mobilising your peers to make the right choice,” he said.

Graduates can work in good paying factories too, but there are none, lol. GEJ and his predecessors said no way, they must loot first before they work, so here we are!

Now you know why,what are you gonna do about it?

My friend, stop distracting me..... I am not being sarcastic yet ok?? Mr Daniel you don't know me too....

Anyway I have noticed you, nice meeting you

The reason why youths are unemployed is because people like buhari and obj who were successful as youths have refused to give way for today's youth to prosper.

He should say why he isn't creating jobs

Baba is just contradicting himself...

Now wey I no sabi book nko any hope

Mr President who made the qualifications unsuitable? And Mr President, whose job is it to check the curricula, quality of education given and the necessary skills reQuired for the Nigeria youth to enter the job market?.

I really don't think it is the fault of the Nigerian youth that the standard of education has dropped drastically!.

Baba is talking.

Lol

Imagine this dullard of daura throwing stones when he's leaving in a glass house, illiterate pedophilia and cattle rearer of daura, a confused pinsure snapping comedian and detector who have belittled every constitutional sense of democracy.
