President Mohammadu Buhari has reportedly said he would not pay the N5000 stipend he promised to unemployed youth in the country. The president made the remarks at the weekend while on the visit in Middle East.


He said it was wise to use a collation of the funds to put up infrastructures and empower them through agriculture for than to give out monies.

He said: "This largesse N5,000 for the unemployed, I have got a slightly different priority. I would rather do the infrastructure, the school and correct them and empower agriculture, mining so that every able bodied person can go and get work instead of giving 5,000, N5,000 to those who don’t work."
