PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has said his administration is bent on recovering the funds stolen from the public purse by some corrupt public office holders to rehabilitate the collapsed economy of the nation. The president said this in his address read at the swearing-in-ceremony of 2016 Batch ‘A’ members of the National Youth Service Corps on Friday, April 29, at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Ede, Osun State.
The address was read on behalf of the President by Isaac Aluko, permanent secretary, Osun State ministry of agriculture, food security and youth engagement. The President lamented the high rate of youth unemployment in the country but said his administration would do everything possible to rebuild the economy and create jobs for the youths to contribute their quotas to the development of their fatherland.
Buhari, who said the NYSC had continued to be attractive to young graduates across the country despite the temporary challenge of insecurity, said there were inadequate infrastructures at various orientation camps. He, however, promised to invest in youth development.
