Senator Ben Murray-Bruce says if the right thing is not done, Nigerian youths will become “debtors of tomorrow” instead of “leaders of tomorrow”.

Murray-Bruce made the claim on Friday via his Twitter account, @benmurraybruce stating that the spending plan laid down by the government had little or no consideration for youth in the country.
