Everyone must have a voice in my administration.” Source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/ambode-creates-ministry-of-employment-two-other-offices-in-lagos/ Cc; Lalasticlala 10 Likes 1 Share

That Office of Civic Engagement looks a good one. World- class Sociologists must be engaged to man the office. It takes a sociological inquisition to understand a people group and the why of their outlook to life with a view to achieving a liveable fusion of types. It must immediately set about sorting out misgivings between the Ibo and the Yoruba in Lagos - clean up the mess spat of tribal diatribes by Jimi Agbaje and Oba Akiolu. 1 Like |

Am an Undisputed Buhari Fan, but I have to say am not happy with this move. This is how it starts and soon we will see them creating ministry of salary and allowances. I just don't want to say this is an Initial Eye - Service popularly known by Nigerians as "Initial Garagara". My President of humble above, in person of President Buhari (Grand Commander Federal Republic of Nigeria, GCFR) is talking of merging ministries, some of his governors like Ambode is talking of creating new ones. Some pertinent questions need to be asked with Ambode's auction, questions such as: 1. Will the office of overseas affairs and Investment (LAGOS GLOBAL) not be duplicating ministry of Foreign Affairs? 2. what will be the difference between Ministry of Wealth creation and Employment and Ministry of Labour and Productivity? I understand, believe without doubt that Ambode is the right man for the JOB of Governor Lagos state, as I see him as a man who knows the needs, desires and yearnings of not just lagosians but even lagoon visitors of Lagos state. However I think he should recount his action here and not deviate from the path of glory as set by his predecessor who is no other person, but our hero Fashola. To this I rest my case.

Jorussia: You dont have the slightest idea of what you are talking about bro. If you want fruits, plant trees. The focus is not fruits, but trees. If you want employments, pay attention to industries, businesses, creativity and productive. Ministry of employment is as bogus as Fayose's Stomach Infrastructure. They sound sweet to the ears and the intent is to confuse and deceive the gullible. do not be deceived. 33 Likes 4 Shares |

Honestly, I don't see this as a smart move. I'd comment my reserve when I see the plans unfolding. I thought we had a ministry of labour or something. This is another prospective leakage point. Make do with what we have Oga, work on the industrialization of Lagos & ensure basic amenities are provided, build more skills acquisition centres. The jobs/employment would fall into place 8 Likes |
