Abuja - Nigerian youths were advised by President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, June 10, to be in their best behaviours if they ever dream of benefitting from the federal government's job-creation schemes.
President Buhari reminded youths that foreign investors will have no other choice than to abandon the country to more secure environments for their businesses, Arise TV reports.

He claimed that this was exactly what was brought about by the vandalisation of public properties during the EndSARS protest hijacked by hoodlums.
The Nigerian leader said:
“About 200 buses bought by the former governor of Lagos were burnt by restive youths. Who would go and invest in such an environment? Nobody. It is just common sense.
”I told them to tell the youths if they want jobs they should behave themselves, make Nigeria secure so that people can come and invest. Nigeria is resourceful, everybody knows that, God has really endowed us.”
Youths have a role to play
