Buhari Denies #LazyNigerianYouths, Says most Northern Youths are Uneducated
President Muhammadu Buhari has finally broken the silence over the trending #LazyNigerianYouths, which has generated so many criticisms for his administration.
The president explained what he actually meant when he said a lot of Nigerian youths are lazy and always waiting for the government to provide everything them. He blamed the Nigerian media for the false report.
According to President Buhari in an interview with Voice of America, Hausa service, in Washington, the United States on Tuesday, he broke the silence on #LazyNigerianYouth when he claimed that his words were misinterpreted by the Nigerian media.
He explained, “You know Nigeria’s population is now between 180 and 190 million and 60 percent of this population is youth that is 30 years downward.
“You know in the North most youths are uneducated or school dropouts. If not because we had good harvests in the last two farming seasons, the situation would have been deteriorated.
“These youths even if they travel out of the North for greener pasture, they hardly make it economically because what they earn as income cannot afford them to meet their basic needs or return home.
“All these explanations I made, they refused to highlight them in their report and you know the media in Nigeria in most cases only do what they like.
“For instance, the nation’s achievements in the agricultural sector where millions of Nigerians benefited financially were left unreported by the media.”
President Buhari is currently on a working visit to overseas where he has met his US counterpart, President Donald Trump, at the White House.
