Buhari Promises S’east 1million Jobs If Voted Aspresident by liljboy(m): 8:31am On Jan 26, 2015
The Presidential Candidate of All Progressives
Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, weekend,
promised to create at least one million jobs for
youths in the South-East by revamping the huge
coal deposits in Enugu for generation of electricity
and export.
The former head of state made the promise at
Enugu West APC zonal rally, in Orie, Awgu Market,
Awgu Local Government Area of the state. Although
he was absent at the rally, he was ably represented
by the state Chairman of APC Presidential Campaign
Council, Osita Okechukwu.
He explained that the coal would be revamped with
the objective of generating electricity to serve the
entire South-East, to boost the economy of the
zone.
“We are banking on huge coal deposits located at
Amasiodo, Inyi and Leje axis of Enugu Coal belt,”
said Buhari, who vowed to award the contract
immediately he was sworn-in, if he won.
“We are going to award contract for mining and
construction of coal-fired-power-plant unlike
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that since 1999
promised to revamp the coal fields and 16 years
after, nothing has been done.
“We believe that coal is the most abundant fossil
fuel in Enugu State and Enugu Coal is one of the
most qualitative brands in the world, which means
that while some are used to generate electricity,
some will be exported.”
The APC candidate noted that his objective was to
create one million jobs directly and indirectly, from
the coal project, as ancillary projects would follow.
“My idea is to emulate the Taichung Coal-Fired-
Power-Plant in Taiwan, the largest coal power
station in the world. Coal supplies 46 percent
electricity in the United States and over 60 per cent
electricity in China. It is callous to abandon such
golden treasure,” he said.
“For 16 years, every election Igbo voted for PDP
and yet, the coal belt remains untapped, hence
there is no commensurate reward. In 2014 budget
for instance, over N600 billion capital projects were
executed in South South, while less than N200
billion was executed in the South East, is that equity
and justice?” he queried.
