“Educated Youths Should Not Expect Any Job From The Government”- Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has told Nigerian youths not to expect automatic benefits from the government just because they’re educated.
The 79-year-old said in an interview on Channels TV on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 that he wants young Nigerians to go to school and earn degrees.
But he emphasised that education is not just a pathway to material things, or to be entitled to government help.
He said,
“You get educated because an educated person is certainly better than an uneducated one, even in identifying personal problem.
“So, education is not just meant to hang on to government to give you job or what the colonials indoctrinated us on – to have a car, house, and to start work at 8 o’clock and close at 2 o’clock. No.”
He kept insisting during Wednesday’s interview that the best way to lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty is for many, especially youths, to start farming, a common position he’s taken since he became president.
