60,000 construction workers lose jobs in 4 months

By Oboh Agbonkhese
LAGOS—Over 60,000 workers in the construction sector have lost their jobs in the past four months, signifying a massive break in infrastructure development, which has been described as unfair on the workers who voted in a Federal Government that promised to protect their interests.

This was the position of the National Union of Civil Engineering Construction, Furniture and Wood Workers, NUCECFWW, at a briefing in Lagos yesterday.

According to Mr. Amechi Asugwuni, President-General of the union, development was on hold in the country and if government wants to remain true to its promise of creating jobs, it will make infrastructure development part of its war against corruption and a first step is to reactivate all roads and rail construction projects, which multiplier effects will boost the economy.

He said: “We urge the Federal Government to, among other moves, set up a monitoring committee that will ensure implementation of projects according to specifications and stop prospective employees from forcing workers to sign anti-unionization agreements.”

I BELIEVE IN YOU PRESIDENT BUHARI.

ACT SWIFTLY TO HELP OUR ECONOMY.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Panic not nigerians Buhari body odour will soon fix it

Now that's bad for our country, we need lasting solutions to this employment and under employment issues

As we are bamboozled by APC and Buhari with lies daily, the main business of governance and improving living standards keeps suffering

Mehn, this is no longer a laughing matter ooo. I don't want to sink with this damned country that care nothing of me. @least give us Biafra before you sink..since you refuse to @least admit we have a problem

I hope the sai chanters are reaping back in good measure now. Most of these unions were supporting Change, please enjoy your change. Na una go suffer pass.

This is the scam called change some pple voted for

And the bad news keeps dropping everyday. . I thought it will take a year or two before buharis alarming illitracy catches up with him . . The economy is going under and the gang are at Aso rock pretending to be geting ready to unleash a master-plan for the economy. But the fact is that apart from replacing technocrats with tribal mutants, buhari has no other serious agenda. How much you can blame him, I don't know. This guy has no reasonable certificate on anything worthwhile, yet he is bossing one slave of a prof. Navigating a rapidly modernising economy should be above the pay-grade of an unsuccessful goat-herder. . Those who in their hatefilled response to jonathan re-election, inflicted on this country, this cereberally empty upstart from Daurra should hang their head in shame

. Heya pushing more people into the already overcrowded labour market

Ok

They shouldn't worry, Buhari's body language will provide two million jobs before the year runs out.

u no create jobs n yet pple dey loose dere job. hope say i no waste my vote on u sha

Failed promise galore of Baba One Chance

This is very bad

APC scamming Nigerians since march 2014...

Its a pity how d country is going down, we voted a man who has never adventured in any form of business or enterprise to employee's anybody apart from malams that usually feed his cows.
Yes he may b less corrupt than others, but in terms of human resources, job creation and management he is obviously clueless.
its a pity..
God help us

While we celebrate the mediocrity of the government in power, Nigerians continue to suffer for their inaction

Bad market

State of the economy: inflation rate increases, unemployment rate increases, businesses collapsing. The future of Nigeria economy is bleak, Government must do more.

whao
the rate of unemployment is at it peak
even those with Jobs are not secured!

I expected something like this to happen, i don't believe a 72 year old acclaimed school cert holder would be able to fix this country, but all the same i'm glad GEJ is gone and i hope buhari would hold this country for 4 years before someone intelligent comes in.

Hehehe... food for the every hungry wailers... Okay, ministers would be sworn in this month and all this will come to an end. The honeymoon period ends this month.

Sai Buhari

Buhari.... look into it...
