Dalong,who spoke to journalists during the visit, said the APC government is fully committed to fulfilling all campaign promises made before the last elections, adding that the payment of the promised N5000 can only begin after it had been included in the budget.
 
"I would want the youth to understand that every promise must be backed up by budgetary provision and our promise to pay N5000 is not contained in the 2015 budget. So, definitely, it is going to begin in 2016 as we have made budgetary allocations for that.
We are committed to the campaign promises of creating jobs, providing wealth and combat poverty. We have embedded in our manifesto things that we are translating to reality.
