Speaking at an audience with the National Executive Council of the National Union of Textile, Garment and Tailoring Workers, led by its President, Comrade John Adaji, at State House, the president said in the last four years, the Federal Government had deployed limited resources to job-creating sectors, such as agriculture and mining.

He lamented the closure of textile factories, especially in the North which he said gave rise to crimes. He said: “We promoted policies that will support local industries such as import restrictions.

Just dey your dey there

This man has a bad mentality.
We export oil when could have engaged hands locally but he doesn't see that. Instead, he feels 30k n-power and pocket money is better.
He travels out to patronize foreign doctors but can't see it is as exportation of jobs.
He is accommodating foreign herdsmen instead of local farmers but cant see that as exportation of herding jobs opportunities.
We are still producing basic things abroad but he cannot see those as well.

This man is a loose talker and bad leader.
