The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Industry, Trade and Investment, Olajumoke Omoniyi Oduwole has said it is not the federal government’s obligation to provide jobs for Nigerians.

Oduwole made this known while speaking with Newsroom.ng yesterday.
According to her, the role of the government is to create an enabling business environment for everybody to thrive.


Rationalising why entrepreneurship studies was made compulsory in tertiary institutions, Oduwole said the government wanted to groom a generation of private sector participants because it is not the major driver of the economy.

Her words; “Entrepreneurship is actually global best practice. In the US, we have so many entrepreneurs and that is how it is everywhere around the world.

“The government only employs a small amount of people. The private sector is the driver of any economy, it is not the government.

“What the government is obliged to do is to make sure there are regulations, laws, amongst other things to make business thrive in the country.”

Lobatan..

Well done
So we can provide jobs for you people through our votes, but the reverse is what the people deserve ehn??

Well done again

Jesus is Lord..

So they no longer create 3 million jobs every year

Sarrki and the other zombies, come and defend your God...

That the best statement I have heard from a high ranking government official, it shows that our leaders are getting governance building right. First it is not any government job to create jobs,it is only in Nigeria that we expect government to provide jobs. since we are not practicing socialism and communism rather a mixed economy then government job is to provide an enabling environment for business to strive. like provision of electricity, good transport logistics, lower taxes, provision of affordable raw materials,lower interest rate and protectionist policy against foreign powers.
