My children can’t get jobs due to my name — PDP chieftain Bode George decries hardship

 

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Bode George, has lamented that his children are struggling to find jobs in Nigeria because of his name.

Speaking on Nigeria Info FM 99.3, George expressed deep concern over the w%rsening hardship and h¥nger in the country, noting that the plight of ordinary Nigerians is what truly matters.

“Today in Nigeria, everywhere there is h¥nger and anger,” he said.

The former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP described the situation of Nigerian youths as h%peless, saying, “Graduates are floating, no future, no hope; non-graduates are doing nothing.”

He called on President Bola Tinubu to establish a special fund to empower young people, especially those without vocational training, and to provide micro-credit for graduates who wish to start small businesses.

“I suggested that Mr. President should set up a special fund to ensure that those 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,” he said.

George also faulted the First Lady’s national library initiative, suggesting that the funds should have come from wealthy bank donors.

“Recently, the First Lady announced she was going to build a national library and needed contributions. That fund should have been raised by the President asking those people in the banks who donated N20 billion in two days to give that money and manage it properly,” he added.

Lamenting further, he said, “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.”
