The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, said this in a meeting with State House journalists the previous evening.
By, the N5, 000 month to month stipend accommodated in the 2016 spending plan is for one million defenseless Nigerians and the to a great degree poor.
"The 2016 spending plan submitted to the National Assembly has made a distribution of N500bn; the first run through in the historical backdrop of this present nation's financial plan where you've that immense lump of cash assigned for social speculation. In that N500bn, near around 20% of the whole spending plan, there are six social wellbeing net projects. One of them is the contingent money exchange where the administration is going to pay N5, 000 month to month to the defenseless and to a great degree poor Nigerians. That guarantee stands.
"The president never guaranteed to pay unemployed graduates N5000; the president never made that guarantee, and the legislature never made that claim that it'll pay N5, 000 to unemployed graduates," he expressed.
He said the system for unemployed graduates was the immediate formation of 500,000 showing occupations for which they would be prepared and sent to schools, guaranteeing that "That still stands."
Akande cleared up that: "notwithstanding that, there is likewise a plan to prepare 370, 000 non-graduate young people for expertise obtaining and professional preparing. Amid the season of that preparation, they'll additionally be paid. In this way, the president did not say that he'd be giving unemployed graduates N5, 000."
In any case, the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha and his Nasarawa State partner, Tanko Al-Makura contrasted on the N5,000 recompenses issue.

Okorocha, who is the administrator of the Progressives Governors' Forum, accentuated that the installment of the recompense must be executed restricted or the other.
He, be that as it may, said dispensing "physical money" could be tricky.
"To be completely forthright with you, it's an incredible thought, yet there are numerous approaches to give that backing. Once in a while, it could be in real money which has its own particular difficulties. Treatment of that is additionally in itself an awesome and incredible thought. Take for case, in Imo State, they used to do what they called "strengthening." They purchase cruisers and give individuals N5,000 or N10,000. For me, that is not my style," he said.
Be that as it may, the Nasarawa State Governor said no one can challenge President Buhari's choice to survey the battle guarantee of the month to month remittance.
