A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bode George, has revealed that his children are struggling to secure employment in Nigeria due to their association with his name. In a recent interview on Nigeria Info FM 99.3, George highlighted the widespread hunger and anger in the country, emphasizing the need for effective solutions to address the plight of Nigerian youths.
George noted that the country’s economic challenges have led to a significant increase in hunger and anger among the population. He stressed that the impact of these issues is felt across the board, affecting both graduates and non-graduates alike. Many young people are unable to find work, leaving them without a sense of direction or hope for the future.
To address this issue, George suggested that the government establish a special fund to empower individuals who lack formal training in a particular skill. He also proposed the introduction of micro-credit schemes to support young graduates who wish to start their own businesses. Furthermore, he criticized the recent announcement by the First Lady to build a national library, suggesting that the funds could be better utilized to support the country’s youth.
George’s personal experience serves as a testament to the challenges faced by many Nigerian families. His own children, who graduated some time ago, have been unable to secure employment due to their association with his name. This highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to addressing the country’s economic and social challenges.
The situation in Nigeria is a complex one, with deep-seated issues that require careful consideration and strategic planning. As the country continues to grapple with these challenges, it is essential that policymakers and stakeholders work together to develop effective solutions that prioritize the needs of the population, particularly the younger generation. By doing so, Nigeria can work towards creating a more stable and prosperous future for all its citizens.
