Headline: [Army Recruitment]: I Meant 50,000 youths, Not 50m, Says Tinubu

Oluwaseye Ogunsanya March 31, 2021 28

In the statement issued by his media office, Tinubu said he gave the figure in error and only meant to say 50,000 youths.

“Asiwaju seeks the expansion of security personnel by 50,000 for the armed forces not the 50 million that was mentioned in error,” the statement read.

While speaking at a colloquium to celebrate his 69th birthday on Monday, the APC leader sought the massive recruitment as a way of addressing Nigeria’s high rate of unemployment.

“Recruit 50 million youths into the army, take away from their (the bandits’) recruitment source,” he had said.
