A youth group, under the auspices of Youths Ask
for Goodluck Again (YAGA), has said that
President Goodluck Jonathan, had reduced the
vexed problem of unemployment in Nigeria by 20
per cent.
The group also said there has been deliberate
effort by Jonathan to check issue of nepotism
and marginalisation, which characterised federal
appointments in Nigeria.
Director General of YAGA, . Abayomi Ogunnowo,
at an interactive forum in Abuja, during the
weekend, urged President Jonathan to seek re-
election in 2015, based on his development
strides in key sectors of the economy.
Ogunnowo, said Jonathan deserves re-election,
as his unbiased disposition to politics had over
these few years, strengthened the country’s
democracy.
He, however, said the South-East and South-
West ge-political zones ,had been worst hit by
the pattern of inequality and selective
marginalisation, particularly negating the federal
character principle in the civil service.
He said despite criticisms, the President has
been very tolerant of the opposition and never
acted in an overbearing manner towards other
political leaders adding that the curbing of
militancy in the South-South region brought
about 50 per cent increase in oil production in
the country.
“Before President Jonathan took office,the
distribution of federal resources, followed a
disturbing pattern of inequality and selective
marginalisation,depending on which geopolitical
region controlled the Federal Government.
“Arguably,the most marginalised was the South
East geopolitical region,as a consequence of the
outcome of the Biafran war. But the Niger Delta
region also had a serious deficit in federal
infrastructures as well,”he stated.
Ogunnowo also carpeted some Northern political
elites who had mounted serious opposition
against Jonathan,saying all what the north did
while in the saddle of leadership were
incomparable to what Jonathan has achieved
these few years.
He said,”Contrary to the shrill political
grandstanding of anti Jonathan northern political
elites who have accused Jonathan of lack lustre
performance in the north,the evidence reveals a
roboust federal programme in that region as
indicated in the Police University at Wudil,Kano
State, remodelling of Aminu Kano International
airport among others.
“In terms of development,no one can honestly
dispute the fact that President Jonathan has
done more for the north in 4 years than any
government led by a northerner since the end of
Gen.Yakubu Gowon’s administration.”

tell me another lie pls

Looto? Election on point

is this not similar to the "youths earnestly ask for Abacha" campaign of those dark days?!!!

one thing that baffles me is that, are these jobs invincible jobs or what?

Because everyday the federal government will tell you that they have employed 10000 youths in various jobs and they same youths will be crying of unemployment

so my question to the federal government is; what kind of jobs are they recruiting the teaming youths in which they claimed they have created? Are the jobs invincible ni?
