Nigeria’s Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has revealed details about beneficiaries of the N5000 monthly stipend promised by the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
He said that FG will target unemployed graduates, market women and the Civilian Joint Task Force in the north-east as beneficiaries of the scheme.
He further explained that the N5,000 stipend would be disbursed through a social security scheme.
Ngige gave the assurance that while the Federal Government empowers unemployed graduates through a teacher conversion scheme, other unskilled individuals, including market women and the Civilian JTF in the north-east, would undertake training at various skills acquisition centres across the country.
He also stated that the promised stipend would vary depending on the programme a candidate is engaged in.
