stated that his administration will work towards the
empowerment of Nigerian youths within his first six
months in office.
Buhari stated this on Tuesday at a symposium with the theme:
"Maximizing the potentials of Nigerian youths as Economic
Drivers for a secured nation in the next dispensation,"
organised by Buhari Volunteers Network (BVN).
"Let the government be on ground, we will tackle each
problem one at a time. The issue of probe, yes, we have to
investigate before prosecution, we have to know who spend
the money and where the money went to."
Buhari, represented by a Political Science and International
Relations lecturer at the Pace University, New York, Prof.
Mohammed Garba, stated that his administration would focus
on opening up the mining and oil and gas sectors so as to
create jobs for the youths, adding this will ensure youths
engage in commercial activities and mentoring programmes.
"Nigerian youths have been supporting the General (Buhari)
and the party. They have exhausted all their time and energy
on the General and the success of the party. So we are
looking forward to see how to get them employed, trained or
involved in commercial activities and mentoring
programmes.
"That is what we are going to be looking at in the next six
months because these youths are computer and IT savvy.
They are very knowledgeable in various fields. So we have to
harness all those talents into one group. We cannot predict
the number of youths to be employed because right now there
is financial crisis."
