The All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government,, said the payment of the N5,000 stipend to the unemployed Nigerian youths will commence next year.
It regretted that the payment could not take off immediately because it was not included in this year’s budget.
Minister of Youths and Sports, Mr Solomon Dalong, revealed this 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.
Dalong, who spoke with journalists, assured that APC government would also create more jobs to fulfill its campaign promises.
The party, during the electioneering campaigns, had pledged to pay N5000 stipend to unemployed youths monthly.
The minister also said that he would soon convene a stakeholders meeting to help re-orientate the Nigerian youths.
SO GET YOUR NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD READY
