The N-Power Youth Congress (N-PYC) has told the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration "to absorb those that want to work with the Federal Government or give them a reasonable exit package to enable them to venture into other enterprises", AllNews reports.
N-PYC’s National Coordinator, Joseph Enan Maigari, made the request at a media briefing in Maiduguri, Borno State at the weekend.
“This is the third briefing on the matter, yet, the Federal Government has refused to listen to our demands," Maigari said.
“I followed President Muhammadu Buhari’s address to the nation last Thursday in his response to #EndSARS protesters’ demands, but nothing was said about the 500,000 youth.
“Once Again, we are reminding President Buhari of his promises to us.
"The youth will not relent until their demands are met.
“We were struggling in different spheres of life to make a living. We were also meant to quit the things we were doing, before being engaged in the N-Power scheme.
"The Federal Government also pledged to absorb the youth after winding up the scheme.
“Absorb those that want to work with the Federal Government or give them a reasonable exit package to enable them to venture into other enterprises.
“The innocent and harmless 500,000 beneficiaries have been crying every day, but no one listens to our cries. They will, however, continue to be law-abiding citizens.”
Large-scale skill development is the main policy thrust of the N-Power Programme, authorities in the West African country say.
