obua: Most of these measures can't create jobs that are sustainable.
What we need to focus on is to create businesses in areas where we import finished products and export raw materials.Areas like clothing and textiles, rice ,sugar,electronics and IT goods..What determines the sustainability is who is the final consumer of goods and services.If we train 1million welders and there is no welding project/service to engage them its all in vain.Among the Nigerian governors I think only Rauf Aregbesola has understood these dynamics very well.
America under Bill Clinton created AGOA to help low income countries access to American large consumer markets. Nigeria has not been able to really harness this opportunity.
Governance is all about ideas to advance the welfare of the people and solve problems while for us in Nigeria its all about massaging the problems and making noise

Thats why vocational training is a priority for the Apc, their graduates get grants to get them started. The only welfare in that policy is for the elderly and weak.

In addition to all these, with a population of over 200million people with almost half being veritable workforce youths, this can mark the beginning of massive industrial boom, as we will have a large pool of workforce, giving us a comparative advantage to produce more, match consumption and export in larger volumes. A reversal may be the case where FDIs will be chasing us. Remember that many blue-chips took their production plants to Asian countries - China, Taiwan, Singapore etc. to take advantage of the economics of scale and with lower production costs.......fast forward later these Asian countries have had their economies further boomed as these industries are there to stay and even "photocopies" of these companies were done. A friend opined that the Jinbey Bus (the Toyota Hi-Ace wannabe) is the byproduct of Toyota's "misadventure" into China.

Let us prove to street urchins, that they stand a better chance working in establishment that pays more, equip them with skills, expose them to little or no danger and give them better means of livelihood than "thugging" at motor parks, busstops, recruited for electoral malpractices, book haram, OPC & Massob miscreants etc

I see the empty heads are arriving, those that have been the worst victims of our failed education and poverty.

I can see someone's back and ready to slay without mercy!! Good one Obi. Will be back to update. Behind the wheels.

Edit:

The aforementioned programmes in the APC states are indeed laudable. But more can be done. Some of them MIGHT have their drawbacks in the sense that they are mainly socialist programs whereas the country operates a capitalist system, putting to question their sustainability . Give and take, the surest and shortest way to creating the volume of jobs we need to dig Nigerians out of the trenches of poverty that have been created (as a matter of choice and manifesto) by PDP over the years is through MASSIVE investment in infrastructure ESPECIALY in the area of electricity provision (as opposed to the retrogressive policy of privatisation by PDP). Nigerians are very resourceful and adaptable people, give them the electricity they need and sit back and watch them create jobs for themselves. After that has been done, a head on fight against corruption especially in the public sector would see this country's economy galloping ahead of SA and Egypt, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Brazil and India. It is no rocket science to get these done, just simple genuine commitment is all it takes.

Do these and we would never see able bodied youths line up under scorching sun to have their signatures and votes procured for N500!!

@Obua & @ Obiagelli

1. Sustainable jobs has its root in sustainable development, yet this must be supported with the right skilled manpower, so I believe you both have the same drift.
2. Even our local artisans come up short with some of the quality of jobs they deliver. I guess many of them are victims of tutelage under bosses with questionable training themselves. We cannot but advocate the need to "proliferate" vocational training institution and tightly connect them to the spate of development projected. When Mile12-Ikorodu road was about to be started, can you imagine that the local welders recruited had to be trained for 4months, before the commencement of the project. These are our welders for God's sakes....
3. Aregbesola's model is a practical winning model any day. Any serious body should go and copy it. The Kano State government copied his educational strategy and implementing it. His Agric strategy had truly won his many laurels. The Ipon Imo is a classic success, this is something UNESCO and UN had struggled to successfully push to us in the days of 1computer per student, yet he came and made the aspiration a reality. 5years from now, we only to watch the massive growth spurned by increase in computer literacy.
4. I want APC government on assumption to give a solid blue print strategy on Road and Transport infrastructure. This is the greatest wining strategy a government can adopt. What we've had in the past and at the moment is simply rubbish. South Africa, post the World Cup hosting, published a 50year strategic plan on rail transport. We need to connect the major hub of the country by rail, providing a sustainable means of haulage of goods to many parts of the country. We can then free our roads to light vehicular movement. With good roads comes opening up of new areas for industries, companies and residential buildings.

These policies and manifestos are what I have been looking forward to hearing from Nairaland APC fans and their the Party Stalwarts than engaging the Canckerworm$ in cheap shots. Let's hope that these laid down policies are feasible. Good one @Obiagelli.

anonimi:
How many of the 36 states and 774 LGAs are under APC control and what is the job creation there For the past 15 plus years plus Lagos has been completely under APC rule, what is the level of job creation through provision of BASIC facilities and amenities so far?

Is this not the rational baisi to know what they can and will do if promoted to the centre?

Obiagelli:
These information are all over the place online but Nigerians? , the average Nigerian will go online to read the latest wizkid scandal.

U mean he created those job that pay peanut, the so called job that pay less than 10k. can allow any of ur family to work in any of those job he created.

I can understand you and you ilk, when things get way beyond you intellectually, you can only come up with lines above. Don't worry, we understand you are incapable of operating at this level

That is the FRAUD that marks out the Arewa People's Congress, APC.
When it comes to justifying the ILLEGAL wages that is below the national MINIMUM level of N18,000 they will tell you it is "empowerment". However when it comes to bamboozle their clueless followers about job creation they will quickly add those figures.

How many of Aregberascal's OYES graduates have been on the "empowerment" scheme for more than 12 months

brown3:
my guy all the apc governor re heartless, could u imagine, despite the low pay they still owe this poor women and men 3 to 6month salary. These re fraudsters that want Nigerians to vote for Them.
