Former Vice President of Nigeria and presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has assured that his government will allocate ten billion dollars towards youth empowerment and their education.
He stated this at UJ Esuene Stadium Calabar, when he addressed mass rally of PDP supporters and members ahead of the presidential election.
He said, if voted into power, security and the two items will be the priority of his government.
Atiku said, “We’ll allocate $10billion for the education of our youths and empower them with skills thereby eliminating poverty and criminality. With this, jobs shall be created and insecurity in the country shall reduce drastically.”
He said it was becoming a reality that the country would not move forward with the current political situations.
Atiku, therefore, promises his government will certainly restructure the country, adding that this would be treated as a major policy thrust of his administration.
“We shall move to restructure the country as a major policy of the incoming PDP government by reducing the powers of the federal government and giving them to the states and local governments, so that we will hold all our leaders from all tiers of government responsible for development.
