A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has stated that his children can’t get jobs in Nigeria because of his name.
Speaking on Nigeria Info FM 99.3, George lamented that there is no future and hope for graduates in the country.
He noted that there is widespread anger in Nigeria due to the high level of hunger in the country.
According to George: “Today in Nigeria, everywhere there is hunger and anger. Forget about me being in the PDP; the base of the pyramid is what really matters.
“What have we done to positively impact the generality of Nigerians? There is so much anger in the land, and there is so much hunger.
“Graduates are floating, no future, no hope; non-graduates are doing nothing. I suggested that Mr. President should set up a special fund to ensure that those guys who didn’t train in any skill can be empowered.
“Then micro-credit for young graduates who want to do one business or the other.
Speaking further, George pointed out that the funds donated during the birthday of First Lady, Remi Tinubu, for the National Library project ought to be channelled towards a better cause.
“Recently, the First Lady announced that she was going to build a national library, and she needed contributions.
“That fund should have been by the President asking these people in the banks, those who donated ₦20 billion in two days, to give that money, which will be public money, and process it through good management.
“The younger generation in this country, including my own children who graduated a long time ago, have returned and tried to get a job, but they can’t get a job because their name is Bode George.”
