Dino Melaye, former Kogi West Senator has faulted the
Federal Government’s decision to donate N25bn to Nigerian youths to invest in
business.
Melaye said the decision was hasty and lacked an indepth
analytical framework.
In a post on his Facebook page, the former lawmaker said the
money would be used for feeding due to corruption and what he termed chronic
infrastructure.
According to Melaye: “The 25b naira donation to Nigerian
Youth by the Federal Government to grow business is hasty, spontaneous and
lacks in-depth analytical framework for capacity building.
“With poor infrastructure and chronic corruption the money
will be used to feed. The Government must be sincere with the people. SDM”
Recall that the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, had
disclosed that the Federal Government had created a N25bn Youth Fund as part of
efforts to address the EndSARS protests and other related youth restiveness
across the country.
Ahmed had disclosed this during a stakeholders’ meeting with
the Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, in Kaduna, over the weekend.
