The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, has said the rising rate of unemployment portends danger for the country.

“Those who can’t get an education, we must provide them jobs so that they can fend for themselves. They can put a roof over their heads.”

Harping on the need to provide quality education to people at the grassroots, he said the inability to provide such was responsible for why the people were lured to partake in separatist agitations, terrorism among others. He added, “If you don’t kill ignorance, you are breeding people would be brainwashed to believe that with Biafra all their problems will go away; Oduduwa, all their problems will go, Boko Haram.

“If we don’t tackle them, we will continue like this until this country might be wiped out completely; we don’t pray for that. We must give education to the people at the grassroots.” Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who was represented by the Minister of Trade and Investment, Adeniyi Adebayo, described Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises as the backbone of Nigeria’s economy.All rights reserved.

I thought the leader of your govt said they have uplifted 10 million Nigerians, I hope he's aware of what you're saying. And last time I checked you seems to be the minister of Labour and employment. Does this mean a testament of failure?

With all this tailoring wen even police don follow join?

Kukurukuuuuuuuu… hello are you awake yet?

You better take proactive measures , If not it will shock una well well The youth cannot be blame And they cannot be fool, If they don't get it in the other way round, They will surely grab it the other way, been good or bad.

This is what happens when you have clueless and daft people in strategic positions in government

Efcc, no social security provided by Govt to citizens & no form of welfare package / educational grant in Nigeria by Govt. Why confiscate assets, properties & savings of poor Southern Youths responsible for their education & upkeep for a crime against unidentifiable foreigners?

Tell Mr. President to lift embargo of employment

Ngige said, “We are in trouble as a country, anybody who tells you he doesn’t know we are in trouble is lying” “If we keep on with these symptoms; buy ammunition, bomb kidnappers, BHT, you will be wasting resources. Buhari claims his “ban it” policies & foreign loans r working

Hmmm

.

Are you not in government? Or have you and your clueless gang, joined the opposition? zooinshambles
