“Behave Well If You Want Jobs” – President Buhari Tells Nigerian Youths

President Muhammadu Buhari has asked Nigerian youths to behave well if they want jobs because no investor will invest in an insecure environment.

Buhari stated this on Thursday during an interview with Arise TV, where he also accused #EndSARS Protesters of making the country insecure for investors.

“Well, the question was answered when there was #EndSARS. You remember the young people, who wanted to march here and remove me.

“My answer to that, I got the members of the executive council and said each one should go to his state, speak to the governor, speak to the traditional leaders, speak to the business people, and speak to especially the youths and tell them that there’s no more vacancy in the federal government.

“Go to any governor now and ask him to give you contract or to give you a job, he’ll tell you there’s no vacancy. The same thing with the local government. So, you may have a good degree, but you may die without having a job. Why?

“Because nobody is going to invest in an insecure environment. So I told them to tell the youth that if they want jobs, they will behave themselves, make sure Nigeria is secure, so people can come and invest.

“Look at the 200 buses bought by the former governor of Lagos, some of these boys went and burnt the vehicles. Who will go and invest their money in an unstable environment? Nobody will.

“It’s just common sense. So you behave yourself, you make Nigeria secure, and people will invest,” Buhari said.

KanyiDaily recalls that last December, President Buhari announced that he is committed to the plan to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.
