The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige has said Igbo people are being brainwashed by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Ngige said the separatist group had brainwashed people of the Southeast into believing that Biafra would bring an end to all challenges facing the region.
Ngige said: “People have been brainwashed and the separatists humped on that foundation to now shout from the rooftops that we will give you Biafra and when we give you Biafra, all these things will disappear.

About 60 per cent of them are youths and a lot of them are unemployed.
“So, the government is devising ways to tackle that. It is a work in progress.”
