President Buhari has offered further explanation for his take down of Nigerian youth while speaking at a forum in London last month.
In a recent interview with the Voice of America, he was asked by the interviewer to explain his what he meant by his previous statement on Nigerian youth. .
In response, Buhari said, “You know they say we are over 180 to 200 million people in Nigeria and 60 per cent are the youth below the age of 30. In the North, for instance, most have not attended school or they abandoned halfway. .
If not because we had favourable rainfall in the past two seasons; most of them have no job, just idling away. People like them, even if they go to the South, for instance, what they will make will not be enough to even pay their rent not to talk of feeding, clothing and transport back home,” the president said.
