The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II,
has placed each returnee from Libya on salary for three months.
According to a statement signed
by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Desmond Agbama, made available to journalists
in Benin on Thursday, Oba Ewuare announced the three months salary package when
he hosted Libyan returnees in his palace yesterday.
“Apart from the allowances, the
Oba Ewuare Foundation would provide the necessary tools and facilities for
those who had gone through the various skills acquisition programmes,” the
statement said.
The Oba expressed disappointment
over the mentality of the Nigerian youth, with the quest to make quick money
without legitimate means, noting that youths must embrace agriculture and other
legal businesses to excel.
The statement said the monarch
frowned at the attitude of some parents who encouraged illegal migration via
sea and desert, stressing that the palace would employ all traditional means to
eradicate the scourge.
