Federal Government Has Created 2.5 Million Jobs Thus Far - Okonjo Iweala by ochejoseph(m): 7:46am On Sep 19, 2013
CO-ORDINATING Minister and Minister of
Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has dismissed
calls for her to resign, stressing that she cannot
do so while the economy
is doing well.
Her reaction came on the heels of the call by the
Governor Rotimi Amaechi-led Governors’ Forum
for her to quit the stage following what the
governors described as
non-performance in the discharge of her duties
to the nation.
The minister, who was asked whether she would
heed the governor’s call and resign, said: “Do I
look like a person who wants to resign? I dey
Kampe.”
According to her, the administration was
creating jobs and that is the main focus of the
President Goodluck Jonathan’s government.
“I want to start from job creation because this is
the main way that Nigerians feel the impact of
what is being done by this administration. This is
an issue that Mr President had insisted on and
focused on.
“Now, in agriculture where we are seeing a
strong results, over 2.5 million seasonal and full-
time jobs have been created. When I say
seasonal, for example, in rice, 460,000 of the jobs
created were seasonal. But overall, over 2.5
million jobs have been created.
“In nine commodity chains, in cassava, in
soghum, in oil palm, in cotton, cocoa, dry season
rice, rainy season rice, maize, etc. So, we are
creating jobs for skilled and unskilled people in
this very important area of the economy,” she
said, adding that investments were being done in
the manaufacturing sector.
In the area of manufactruing, she said, “specific
investments are going in. Indorama company is
making an investment of $1.2 billion in
petrochemicals, fertiliser, particularly. They
have already closed on the financing for this
investment to be situated in Port Harcourt and
the environs. Then, Proter & Gamble of the US
that has built a new factory and they have
invested $250 million in manufacturing baby
products.”

For those castigating the woman and screaming, how many of u find yourself in the sector the finance minister mentioned?.

If u don't then u can't feel the impact or see what is taking place, and our lazy journalist don't care to investigate and accertain these facts. Even in advanced world if information of happenings are not brought to the people they feels their politicians and administrators are incompetent or inactive.

Yes 2.5 million jobs

Was it ghosts that helped in the Renovation of all airports across the Nigeria ? No jobs were created .

How many people and machine does it take to construct 12 brand new universities From scratch at good speed ?
Don't forget all the lecturers academic (ASSU) non Academic (NASU) And senior staff (SANNU) members employed to run them

How many individuals went back to their abandoned cocoa farms making cocoa our 2nd highest export earner? Thousand equipped with new black pod resistant varieties .

My friends who were Jobless and today are now rice farmers courtesy of GEJ young farmers rice revolution must be counted !
Most rice packed as foreign are actually local ask the CBN gov rice import down by over 50% = more jobs

I won't forget Elizabeth Onoja my SURE P grant award winning Neighbour who recently employed several people using the grant ,

The rails were rehabilitated its rehabilitation(ongoing ) is still creating Jobs lest not forget the New business of rail container movement which has created brand new businesses and opportunities has to be accounted for

Ask people at the railway terminals Bizne$$ has been Good

Innoson is expanding dangote is expanding his new refinery alone will Create over 85 000 direct jobs thanks to favourable Govt policies

In a country of over 170 million people 2.5 million direct indirect and seasonal Jobs is still small but we are making progress , and soon we will get there

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Most Nigerians, the educated inclusive don't understand how difficult job creation is, countries like Spain, England, Germany and USA has been finding it difficult to creat jobs for the unemployed which is not up to 3 million each.

If previous government had put in effort the deficit should have been narrowed by now.

Fact is the 40 millions unemployed would take more than 15 years to put to work if the government is focus.

Can she give us a breakdown? In which industries, which companies, which states and towns?

Surely we would know if such an amount of jobs has been created. undecided

Meanwhile at least 40 million are still unemployed.
