"You Promised Youths 2Million Jobs During Campaign But Recruited Graduates For Second NYSC Called N-Power" - Nigerian Graduate Slams Pres. Buhari

                                          

The heat generated by the federal government insistence that it will not absorb beneficiaries of the Federal Government Social Investment programme, N-Power may not cool off soon as another applicant, Ibizugbe Efosa has accused President Mohammadu Buhari of deceiving Nigerian graduates with a promise of providing 2million jobs but only recruited them for another NYSC programme called N-Power.

N-Power had warned beneficiaries campaigning for permanency in the civil service at the end of their two-year volunteer period, threatening to expose and dismiss them from the programme.

There have been mixed reactions from beneficiaries since N-Power issued the threat of sack, with some insisting on why they should not ask for permanency in a free and democratic society.

Mr Efosa said this in a post on a popular social media channel.
