It also charged the Ministry of National Planning to “put up mechanisms and programmes that would provide employment for the country’s teeming unemployed graduates/youths at all tiers of government.”Adopting a motion titled “Escalating Rate of Unemployment in the Country” and sponsored by Ike Ekweremadu, the upper legislative chamber equally called on government at all levels to declare emergency on job creation for the youths nationwide.
He added: “The most pressing demand on the hand of every legislator and public officer is the rising number of curriculum vitae and applications for employments from constituents and Nigerians.”The lawmaker submitted that “a situation where every graduate has to queue for job only in government offices is an indication of the breakdown of the private sector, which is the major driver of world economies.
“Unemployment is one of the major causes of the upsurge in rural-urban migration which puts pressure on facilities at the urban centres. Besides, Senate President Ahmad Lawan yesterday said the chamber would investigate the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency over alleged non-remittance of N800 billion to the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency for the maintenance of highways across the federation.
We are aware of this. The question is what are you going to do about it. I have a starting point for you anyway. Throw into the trash bin the phrase 'Government don't have business with Business' The opposite of this phrase actually provided jobs for Nigerians in the past
Tackling the issue of unemployment should be the focus and not adopting welfarism-based policies.
Please they should not raise hopes only to disappoint.. .. Let them work on creating jobs not for their families and relatives but for the ones that deserve and knows how to work..
