“Nigerian Graduates are the future of Nigeria, treat them better….”
“Federal Government, please do not send N-power Beneficiaries back to the street…”
“We have families who depend on the N30,000 monthly stipends. How do we survive now?”
"Thank you President Mohammedu Buhari for the N-power Program, we deserve more."
“We need substantial exit package or Permanent employment”
And many more….
The Senate President, Ahmed Lawal, who was unsettled by the touching inscription born by the endangered youths, asked the protesting beneficiaries to revisit the National Assembly next week Thursday for Negotiation.
