Achonu (PDP), has attributed the on-going agitation for the
realization of Biafran state as a result of unemployment among the
youths which is worsening economic situation in the country.
Sen. Achonu urged the Federal Government to tackle unemployment rather
than the promised N5,000 monthly stipend.
He stressed that such palliative was not the solution to economic
problems neither was it feasible considering the huge number, adding
that if the youths were gainfully employed, they would not have
resorted to street protest.
“If these men agitating for the state of Biafra are gainfully
employed, they will not be in the streets protesting. There is hunger
in the land and the government should do all it can to address the
socio-economic challenges confronting the nation. Only a few people
are making a living,” he said.
