President Mohammadu Buhari, Sunday, said the problem of youth unemployment facing the country will soon become history.
Speaking at a dinner he organised in honour of the visiting Alumni Association of the Indian Defence Services Staff College,DSSC,Wellington, led by the Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Ghanashyam, the president said after the passage of 2016 national budget, the issue of unemployment in Nigeria would be addressed.
Buhari also explained that insecurity in the North-East, abduction for ransom in the South and the sabotage of the oil industry in the delta region have connection with poverty and unemployment.
"Over 60 per cent of the country's youth population is unemployed, Buhari lamented.
"This is extremely dangerous for our country. We are meeting after the budget to see how to revive industry and secure the economy.
"We will sit down to see how we can rehabilitate industries. We will do this in order to clear the problem of unemployment," Buhari affirmed.
