Atiku Unveils $10bn Youth Employment Scheme

The PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said he would earmark the sum of $10 billion to tackle youth unemployment if elected as Nigeria’s president in the 2023 general elections.

Atiku disclosed this in Ilorin, Kwara State, at the flag- off of the PDP North Central campaign rally, at the Metropolitan Square, Ilorin.

The former vice president said that the money would be used to help Nigerian youths in establishing micro, small and medium=sized enterprises.

“I want to assure you that the youth unemployment which is all over the country is not peculiar to Kwara State or the North Central zone. Most of you here are under the age of 30 and most of you here have no jobs or businesses. We will make sure that in our programme, I’ve promised that I’ll set aside $10billion to make sure that youth unemployment is catered for in micro, small and medium enterprises to empower you and to make sure that you are gainfully employed so that you have a decent living.

“We’re not here to tell you lies. We’re your parents. We want you to be like what we are. We will bail you out. We will bring you up. We will make sure you obtain your objectives, whatever your lofty ambitions. That’s why we are here. Don’t vote for APC again. Vote for all candidates of the PDP come 2023.”

Atiku also promised to restore security all over the country if elected.

“When they came, they said they would tackle insecurity in six months. But what do we see? We now see insecurity all over the country. It’s a total failure by the APC in all its ramifications”.

The presidential hopeful urged Kwarans to elect all PDP candidates during the 2023 general elections.
