It is really sad what these FRAUDSTERS and Conmen are doing to our people.
However the most PATHETIC aspect is the employment of "internet warriors" who have sold their souls for a pot of porridge, consisting of crumbs from what these leaders looters have STOLEN and deprived us of those BASIC amenities that draw them and their kids to Dubai and other similar places where the leaders do not ABANDON their constitutional RESPONSIBILITIES angry
Can you imagine people taking up assignments to "CONFUSE the minds" of their fellow Nigerians huh
Such a shameful thing to do sad

It is terribly clueless on the part of these young (and not so young) internet warriors who may not understand the full import of their daft engagement.
atiku the criminal, Tinubu the drug barron and buhari the boko haram sponsor re claiming progressive. Joke of the century.

No wonder they need "internet warriors" to be engaged in the odious activities of "confusing the minds" of their fellow citizens by re-packaging these rotten cargoes as born-again saints like Aregberascal's campaign odourless fufu of stomach infrastructure.

What a waste!!!

So the assemblage of Timipre Sylva,Tinibu Atiku and the likes that gives you joy abi ? Naija don finish ooooo contact me I 'll unveil who Sylva is briefly to you.
Go and unveil him or any other person you feel has any skeleton or criminal tendency to the Police,EFCC,ICPC,DMI and SSS.......

Else save your online and anonymous allegations for folks like you who are not so rational

It is only folks like you who have refused to see the style of PDP all this while,wherein they allege you of corruption yet wont prove the case in court even for several years

It is either they secure a convinction against any alleged person or they shut-up!

To you it might be a peanut.... During oyinlola's firts term in office, he created what he called OYIN Corps, some were posted to schools to teach, some were posted to clean roads and stuffs like that.... Their salary was just #6,000.... I had a family that participated then. These corps were to serve for 2years after which they will be disengaged.
Now to OYES, its an empowerment programmes not a job! They don't go to work everyday, they have their working hours and you can get yourself another work with it.
They are paid #10,000 monthly. Some of them with NCE and degrees in education have been employed into the teaching service, thereby placing them on a normal salary scale of a govt worker. Some have been posted in traffic unit to monitor traffic on roads, we have some in charge of school bus and the ambulance bus.
This isn't the best yet... If the FG can do the same things would have been better off.
What's the outcome of SURE-P, YOUWINhuh?
do u know that 80% of all the workers re used for riggimg of election. If u re not a party faithul u re not going to be employed. is that the people u want us to vote for? Mean while u never answer my question. can u allow any of ur family to work in any of those job created by apc governors?

Is this your best shot?

Why dont you open another thread and let us review the achievements of PDP governors

Kebbi is a PDP state; Taraba is a PDP state; Ebonyi is a PDP. When was the last time a tangible project was commissioned in those states?

What about Bayelsa, the presidents home state? Despite collecting huge federal allocation with its relatively small landmass and meagre population, the state is still nothing to write home about.

You can also tell us about Abia, another failed PDP state
My brother they definitely have nothing to talk about constructively on the achievement of their pay masters.
but come to think of it, no matter how bad this government is they still managed to get some Nigerian youth busy and a classic example
are those internet stroller paid to support PDP blindly and end up destroying their future.

Obiagelli:
APC’s Roadmap for Jobs Includes:


APC will create 20,000 jobs per state immediately
for those with a
minimum qualification of secondary school leaving
certificate
and who participate in technology and vocational
training. APC will encourage State Governments to focus on
employment creation by matching every one job created
by the State Government
through funding with two jobs created by the Federal
Government in the same state.

Adopted from Lagos State Government, Lastma, lawma, kai, public works, lagbus and so on. All these are also replicated by local governments




Direct conditional monthly cash transfers of
NGN5,000 to the 25
million poorest and most vulnerable citizens upon
demonstration
of children’s enrolment in school and immunization, to help
promote job empowerment.


Adopted from Fayemi's ekiti.



APC will establish Technology/Industrial Estates
fully equipped with ICT, power and other support across
the country to attract and encourage small-scale
technology businesses and other entrepreneurs.

Adopted from Osun Samsung ict centre.



APC will provide allowances to discharged but
unemployed Youth Corps members for 12 months while
they seek jobs or acquire training and skills for job
placement or entrepreneurship.





APC will establish plants for the assembly and
ultimately the manufacture of phones, tablets, computers
and other devices.


Adopted from osun again.
www.biztechafrica.com/article/rlgs-10m-phone-factory-soon-osun/6935/

APC will pay a guaranteed indexed-linked price to
farmers to ensure that there is always a ready market
for their produce, which will create more jobs,
agricultural related employment and sustain existing
jobs.



Provide One Meal A Day for all primary school
students that will create jobs in agriculture, including
poultry, catering and delivery services.


From osun again.



Create a scheme that provides matching funds for
businesses that have already been validated and secured
funding elsewhere, including by borrowing, if such
business will create a minimum number of skilled jobs.



APC will support training centres created for skills
acquisition or vocational training by providing
infrastructure for such institutions and matching grants
where necessary, and organize job fair and recruitment
exercises at such institutions.

From Lasg vocational programmes in all 57 lcdas.


Embark on vocational retraining and skills acquisition
for unemployed graduates, school leavers and drop-outs
emphasizing technology and construction such as
plumbers, electricians and tilers, which will feed the public
works and social housing schemes
among others.





From Lasg vocational programmes in all 57 lcdas.



Invest in large-scale public works projects, beginning
in the first quarter of the administration, including a
modern national railway system and interstate roads, to
energize our economy and create new businesses and
jobs throughout Nigeria.
Implement a social housing policy of one million low-
cost housing units in the first four years, which will
create housing and increase skilled and unskilled
employment.

Kano and lagos examples.



Promote technology transfer, including investing in
new and less expensive technologies (as in the building
of affordable homes) to create more jobs.
Make Nigeria a global hub for Internet and
telecommunications services, including outsourcing and
cloud computing, to create millions of new jobs.
Dramatically increase the number of small and
medium-sized enterprises that produce new jobs, with
industrial hubs focused on their creation and growth in
all regions of the country.
This is a road map to no where... just the usual rhetoric of Nigerian politicians devoid of strategical planning or implementation.

1. Why should it be the responsibility of FG to employ 20,000 workers equivalent of Lagos State Government, Lastma, lawma, kai, public works, lagbus? Will the APC led FG make it a mandatory that all state irrespective of being a APC controlled state to follow this policy or will these 20,000 workers be employed by the FG directly?

If they are employed by the FG, then what is the job function of the like of FRSC, Civil defence and others? If it is for states to create, why haven't APC mandated all of its states to follow the rule? or must they wait until they are in control of the centre?


2. It is very hard to tell if this "road map" is really from the APC because if it is, then, I'm afraid but they are just bunch of noise makers.

First, without a valid national database of all Nigerians, please explain to us how these elderly and vulnerable citizens will be identified? Moreover, what does this mean "upon demonstration of children’s enrollment in school and immunization"?

Secondly, it seems people are just playing with numbers. N5,000 multiplies by 25,000,000 elderly and vulnerable citizens gives you 125 billion Naira per month which is 1.5 trillion Naira per year grin grin huh huh

The Nigeria budget for 2014 is 4.962 trillion Naira, we are talking about spending 30.2% of Nigeria's total budget on phantom "elderly and vulnerable citizens" APC, daris God oh!!

3. Again, this hardly any strategic planning other the usual Nigerian estates and FTZs

4. Again, what APC promise is money, money and more money!! are they father Christmas if I may ask?

5. The first question to ask is, what is the comparative and competitive advantage of Nigeria in terms of mobile phone production? you would think that Apple, for example are stupid by manufacturing their phones in china. What are the policies that will make made in Nigerian phone attractive to foreign market? and what are the incentives for mobile phone manufacturer to establish plants in Nigeria?

6. This is actually a good policy, just as it is done in Thailand for rice and sugar cane farmers, if it is implemented, it will be a welcome development and boast agriculture in Nigeria however, this system is always abused. Read the case of Yingluck Shinawatra.

7. Again, money, money and more money... at this rate, Nigeria will go bankrupt in less than a year

8. I give you pass mark.. but this is actually not the job of FG if we are being honest

9. How is this different from the National Housing Fund provided by the Federal Mortgage Bank Of Nigeria?

10. How do you magically increase the number of small and medium-sized enterprises? by given them more money or what policies? for a start in a country where bank lending rate starts from 12% per annum, how will small and medium-sized enterprises grow?

11. Finally, if I may ask, if APC trying to change our social and economic system from capitalist to socialist?

Its about giving 20,000 people a job not redundant employment. The mining industry alone can generate more in every state talk less of agriculture

This they might have to explain further, btw do you mean 125 million or billion monthly? I would say its achievable. Forget the budget, how much does this country make annually?

That is the issue we keep facing. How will you pass comprehension in school. I now understand why we have lot of mass failure in English Language. We are talking about working policy that can solve lot of Nigeria's unemployment problem, but all you can do is insult Buhari (who does not know if you exist, who will die and be celebrated as a hero by the same government you support blindly).
I guess you most be a kid still under the roof of your parent thats why you don't understand the situation the country is.
Grow up bro.
the GEJ that u insult everyday and even in ur dreams also know that u exist?

Re: Apc’s Roadmap For Job Creation. Action And Words by major466(m):
FearGodinall:
Thank you didn't say,apc led fed. government will create 20m jobs across Nigeria but states through funding though you fail to mention how the fed. government will fund the states apart from the monthly allocation that had made most states become indolent. APC is saying that, it led federal has nothing to do with job creation but it can only assist the states in job creation through funding. Now whom do we blame for lack of jobs in Nigeria. Most ridiculously by saying adopted from Lagos state Ekiti and Osun state , If i may ask, if really that's true, what were the level of unemployment in those states as at then and what is been so far 0btained via these so called blueprints? Is it really reducing? then why these states had the highest number of job seekers as clearly shown by the immigration tragedy? (Sowi to recall this sad event) If this is real,'the road map' of APC in creating jobs in Nigeria for the teaming youths then its a show of shame for another amature set of clowns that wants take the nation to another stand still. Any individual,people,group,nation etc that tailored its economy on consumption rather than production is doomed to fail. As APC is using Lagos state as yard stick,what's really lagos state,what is Lagos and the other state producing,manufacturing and exporting? Its really a display of another vision less and direction less set of clowns. Think on what to PRODUCE,you 'll create all the jobs you wants to create. What to all the refineries/factories,think on what to do with energy.
I laughed when I saw their employment generation blue print cheesy it sounded more like a socialist program where APC led federal government would spearhead the drive by funding states, in effect, centralizing economic planning at the center.
The keep using Lagos as role model for other states to follow but they fail to realize that Lagos was ones the federal capital of Nigeria, hence already at an advantage in the area of revenue generation for infrastructural development.
Their emphasis on social welfare as economic approach towards ending poverty and job creation will lead Nigeria into debt, already experienced by the so called APC states. Creation of jobs for the sake of ending poverty will not lead to lasting quality jobs. It would rather lead to economic burden.

2. Anybody that collects money before, during and after the election is simply foolish. The giver himself doesn't deserve any better, so whatever money you're alluding to, I believe, is even the more reason to state that you're in the wrong discussion on intellectual scale

This policies are actually targeted at trenches of poverty, the lowest of the low, we can't move forward by ignoring them, in fact we will be making the biggest mistake. Most of these guys have lost hope, you see them every "baba ijebu/lotto" kiosk, that's the only way to success they know and unfortunately they form more than 20% of our population. These guys can be shown the light, how to be successful instead of coming in and out of prisons every year.

Cc. Ngwakwe.
And you think the best way to solve the problem is employing them to cut grass and pay them 10k per month (in the case of Osun state). When it is an open secret that Osun state relies on corps members to fill up more than 40 percent of the teaching staff needs of her secondary school.

Sacrificing viable long term strategies on the alter of short term media glory.

At the end of the day, these secondary school that relies on corps members to teach virtually all the subjects ends up churning more and more of these guys you spoke about in your post. And the cycle continues.

At the end of the day, work done = 0.
Re: Apc’s Roadmap For Job Creation. Action And Words by mapet: 9:56am On Oct 15, 2014
@ datolee, let me engage you a bit

1. The APC led FG needs not mandate states irrespective of their party to follow the policy. First off, there are blue prints that cover the whole country. I had given an example of South African Railway strategy, for example. All the APC government needs to do is to come up with a sustainable employment aiding initiatives, pilot in APC controlled and some other states that can buy into the initiatives for starters. Also don't forget the fact that there are lines when national interest overrides and it is irrespective of party; case in point, the power aspiration. A huge, water-tight, sustainable strategy from a federal government will, will spin-off the necessary catalyst in states.

2. Your contrary point 2 turns logic on its' head. First off, identifying elderlies and vulnerable citizen is not rocket science, a first phase can be established in 6months. The Lagos State government has an ongoing initiative called LASRAB, I also know OSUN, ONDO, PH, and some Northern states have started one form of initiative to enumerate either a section or a whole of their coverage area. We have failed in the past with national census, but the parallel census Tinubu's government did in Lagos back then is the reference point even from international bodies used to estimate the population of Lagos. Back then Lagos state identified some classical points in the over 16m population, one of them namely, that we have over 4million registered houses in Lagos.

I'm also persuaded to emphasis that enumeration is important in planning, so either through elderly program schemes, school enrolments, state date enrolment etc. peoples demographics and stats needs to be established.

You also need to check your numbers, 5thousand times 25million is simply 125million.

3. The need to flesh out your usual "Nigerian Estates and FTZs" is probably important to check your understanding of its essence and implication. But in addition to that, If we look at it from the point of view of the aspiration for incubators and industrial clusters to revamp the yawning gaps and deficits, balance of trades, employment, and consequent boosters to related sectors of the economy, then you'd get the big picture. If a train can connect to the Lekki FTZ from Kano via Iddo to the proposed Lagos rail on the Lekki corridor, you can imagine the gap that will be bridged. If the proposed International Airport can handle 3-4times the volumes MM airports are struggling with in operations efficiencies, space, road nextworks...... I mean no single rail line connects to any of our international airports..... But I think we need to try look in the telescope, what are the "byproducts" of free trade zones? A major project the Ministry of Gas and Power has been toiling to land, since the days of Yar' Adua to date is the National Gas Park to be situated at Ogidigben. This should birth industries like Petrochemicals, Fertilizers, Domestic Gas, Gas for Export etc.

Estates are important, as they have direct ties to increasing the incomes that come to government in terms of ground rents and land charges, this is aside from closing the gap on housing. The newer concept when lots of skyscrapers are beginning to take the places of small houses will help further make houses more affordable comparatively. So startups can situate their offices in high commercial areas by taking small space of a 25th floor of 30floor building on Lagos Atlantic City.

4. APC are not Father Christmas. They have simply come to point out few gospel truths that we're sitting on gold mine and we can mine it. That we can use the Oil money to accelerate true development. That we should accelerate massive capital projects especially when the Oil price is high and much more that investments in these capital projects will further bring prosperity as evidenced with Asian Tigers

5. Your number 5 is laughable. To your question about Nigerians comparative and competitive advantage in phone production? 1. Population = viable market, 2. Lower Labor cost - same reason Apple took theirs to China 3. Viable alternative market space for Apples' competitors. Why do you think Samsung's market strength is in sub-Saharan Africa?

6. Good enough you agree with the index-linked pricing strategy. The need to do this is to create a balance in the coverage of the produces to all works of life. Let me give you a funny example, if Nigeria suddenly becomes the largest exporter of leather (it could be farm produce), there will come a time where it will make more sense to the farmer to either horde his produces and wait for exporters who will pay a higher price, than sell in the open market. Nutshell we may have a situation where, even though we produce in large quantity, it is still expensive. So government will setup a price intermediation and management company who coordinates the who and how the produce will be sold. To the exporter, they sell at premium and gains on these premium will be used to pay the farmers the difference on the sales to the local consumers.

These are just examples of how we can creatively unearth wealth that are already locked in

7. When you keep saying money, money, money everywhere.......I'm tempted to believe you don't want to constructively critique on purpose. What is difficult in government creating a sinking/revolving from some defined income streams and excesses to drive startups, that will in turn increase employment and much more create more wealth. Lagos State government demonstrated that with the Security Trust Fund, the business sectors bought into it and has been a robust approach to crime reduction and equipping security agencies, a deficit rent sharing has not been able to solve.

8. The job of FG is to ensure each citizens is adequately catered for. So it means starting vocational centers in all LGs which they can then privatize later when they are commercially viable and can self sustain, then so be it. Let's be real, which business man will invest in vocational training center today just like that, when there are hardly any organized sectors the graduands will feed. But the government whilst creating structures needs to side-by-side start this centers and institutions to create a sustainable skill acquisition and value actualization strategy.

9. The Federal Mortgage scheme is largely in doldrums, not accessible, and needs total rework. The federal government's housing policies and it's realities are there for us to see in all these years. The Lagos State government has indeed been running a transparent and better strategy

10. As a short term measure, the FG can do one of the following - Provide a revolving fund, what excess crude oil returns should do if the constitution permit for example or Reenact People's Bank/Fortify the base of Bank of Industry to offer loan support to the small scale industries at a government indexed rate.

11. Obiageli's answer on this is on point and no more to add
datolee:
This is a road map to no where... just the usual rhetoric of Nigerian politicians devoid of strategical planning or implementation.

1. Why should it be the responsibility of FG to employ 20,000 workers equivalent of Lagos State Government, Lastma, lawma, kai, public works, lagbus? Will the APC led FG make it a mandatory that all state irrespective of being a APC controlled state to follow this policy or will these 20,000 workers be employed by the FG directly?

If they are employed by the FG, then what is the job function of the like of FRSC, Civil defence and others? If it is for states to create, why haven't APC mandated all of its states to follow the rule? or must they wait until they are in control of the centre?


2. It is very hard to tell if this "road map" is really from the APC because if it is, then, I'm afraid but they are just bunch of noise makers.

First, without a valid national database of all Nigerians, please explain to us how these elderly and vulnerable citizens will be identified? Moreover, what does this mean "upon demonstration of children’s enrollment in school and immunization"?

Secondly, it seems people are just playing with numbers. N5,000 multiplies by 25,000,000 elderly and vulnerable citizens gives you 125 billion Naira per month which is 1.5 trillion Naira per year grin grin huh huh

The Nigeria budget for 2014 is 4.962 trillion Naira, we are talking about spending 30.2% of Nigeria's total budget on phantom "elderly and vulnerable citizens" APC, daris God oh!!

3. Again, this hardly any strategic planning other the usual Nigerian estates and FTZs

4. Again, what APC promise is money, money and more money!! are they father Christmas if I may ask?

5. The first question to ask is, what is the comparative and competitive advantage of Nigeria in terms of mobile phone production? you would think that Apple, for example are stupid by manufacturing their phones in china. What are the policies that will make made in Nigerian phone attractive to foreign market? and what are the incentives for mobile phone manufacturer to establish plants in Nigeria?

6. This is actually a good policy, just as it is done in Thailand for rice and sugar cane farmers, if it is implemented, it will be a welcome development and boast agriculture in Nigeria however, this system is always abused. Read the case of Yingluck Shinawatra.

7. Again, money, money and more money... at this rate, Nigeria will go bankrupt in less than a year

8. I give you pass mark.. but this is actually not the job of FG if we are being honest

9. How is this different from the National Housing Fund provided by the Federal Mortgage Bank Of Nigeria?

10. How do you magically increase the number of small and medium-sized enterprises? by given them more money or what policies? for a start in a country where bank lending rate starts from 12% per annum, how will small and medium-sized enterprises grow?

11. Finally, if I may ask, if APC trying to change our social and economic system from capitalist to socialist?

1. You need to lay off what you don't know about or rather stop spewing lies.
2. The United Nations bodies that applauded Aregbesola's Youth Empowerment programs and the bodies that gave him award for it, were blind and did not see what you "concocted" yet gave him the award?
3. I know for a fact that teaching applications in Osun state had always been oversubscribed right from the 80s, so your "open secrete" is a figment of your imagination.
obayaya:
And you think the best way to solve the problem is employing them to cut grass and pay them 10k per month (in the case of Osun state). When it is an open secret that Osun state relies on corps members to fill up more than 40 percent of the teaching staff needs of her secondary school.

Sacrificing viable long term strategies on the alter of short term media glory.

At the end of the day, these secondary school that relies on corps members to teach virtually all the subjects ends up churning more and more of these guys you spoke about in your post. And the cycle continues.

At the end of the day, work done = 0.

1. You cannot turn logic on it's head by simply restarting the worn out rhetoric. If you lot in PDP term value creation to be born out of the outcome of states being under the control of PDP, then you lots have placed limit of your reasoning.
2. The works of Lagos State government in providing basic facilities and amenities are there for all to see. No matter what you lots say to discredit it. Why do you lot keep having headaches with the spate of development in Lagos, yet cannot offer credible criticism but lies. Of a truth a whole lot has been done, and of a truth there is more to do.
3. Do you always develop stomach upset when Fashola's strides are shown to you or something?

anonimi:
How many of the 36 states and 774 LGAs are under APC control and what is the job creation there huh
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?
Re: Apc’s Roadmap For Job Creation. Action And Words by mapet: 10:15am On Oct 15, 2014

How many have not? The tenure of each participant on the scheme is 2years, and you have seen 2 graduations. So what's your drift?

You want to employ ssce drop outs as teachers?

Did you not read continuous training? I know many lastma guys that have received part-time degrees and have moved on to greater things. Without lastma, kai and co, what would have become of these people.

Tell me that state where nysc members dont teach

@datolee

This is a road map to no where... just the usual rhetoric of Nigerian politicians devoid of strategical planning or implementation.

1. Why should it be the responsibility of FG to employ 20,000 workers equivalent of Lagos State Government, Lastma, lawma, kai, public works, lagbus? Will the APC led FG make it a mandatory that all state irrespective of being a APC controlled state to follow this policy or will these 20,000 workers be employed by the FG directly?

If they are employed by the FG, then what is the job function of the like of FRSC, Civil defence and others? If it is for states to create, why haven't APC mandated all of its states to follow the rule? or must they wait until they are in control of the centre?


[/color]The APC led FG cannot mandate all states to implement such policy except states that are APC controlled. It is left for states that are not APC controlled to adopt it. it is for their state and Nigeria benefit at large. Nigerians will gain most not APC as a party.
Creation Jobs vary from state to state. The OP is only trying to use 2 or 3 APC states that have created jobs one way or the other. It does not mean they must follow same strategy. At least, most of our paramilitary and military are understaffed.
Zamfara state might be agriculture and wind power energy or mining while lagos might be on transport cos of transportation is one of its major problem,so are many states in the federation.
They have not waited till they control the centre, they are only informing you of what they will do if the control the centre. Osun state and Lagos state are good example stated by the OP. I guess they aint controlled by PDP.


[color=#000000]2.It is very hard to tell if this "road map" is really from the APC because if it is, then, I'm afraid but they are just bunch of noise makers.

First, without a valid national database of all Nigerians, please explain to us how these elderly and vulnerable citizens will be identified? Moreover, what does this mean "upon demonstration of children’s enrollment in school and immunization"?

Secondly, it seems people are just playing with numbers. N5,000 multiplies by 25,000,000 elderly and vulnerable citizens gives you 125 billion Naira per month which is 1.5 trillion Naira per year grin grin huh huh

The Nigeria budget for 2014 is 4.962 trillion Naira, we are talking about spending 30.2% of Nigeria's total budget on phantom "elderly and vulnerable citizens" APC, daris God oh!!

If PDP led Government have problem with providing Nigerians with a better National database does not mean another party can not do that. Osun and Ekiti state is a living witness of a well updated database of all its workers. These are part of the anger of the civil servant against him for reducing ghost worker to a level in the state. These free up lot of fund for the state and job opportunity of about 18,000 (within the civil service) that was filled from the OYES cadet program.
Yes, it is a huge fund but that fund is a chain that creates a web of big economy.
First, can we generate such fund? Yes.
How can we generate such fund? we can, from check mating leakage of funds from non-remitted tax deduction of most FG/states agency, all Crude proceeds be paid to the Federation account before any deduction, all revenue from NPA,FIRS,NIMASA, Customs,FAAN, NCC, NERC etc to the federation account, and lastly ensure that all crude explored are properly metered and documented.
Back to the issue, any government that is going to enact such policy knows the implication, there will be sudden rise in the number of students to primary/secondary school and Hospitals. More schools and hospitals will be built and jobs created to feel the gap.
Mapet have dealt with the part of gathering data so there is no use dwelling on that.

10. How do you magically increase the number of small and medium-sized enterprises? by given them more money or what policies? for a start in a country where bank lending rate starts from 12% per annum, how will small and medium-sized enterprises grow?

It is possible, Let me use the Osun state O'meal policy to explain.
Osun state government intends to feed 254,000 student daily. The feeding of this children involves different kinds of meal from yam, beans, rice, chicken, noodles, egg, meat etc. How do the state source for these food. Is it direct from the market or how?
The state government involved big farms that are into chicken production to produce chicks that are giving to any interested person to rear for a minimum of 8 weeks and come back to buy. Minimum of 2000 chicks are giving to the individual to rear, the chicks are insured. After 8 weeks the govt comes to buy these chickens from that person at a sum of N450/kg. These program increases the production of chicken and eggs in the state. Remember there is a ready market to buy these product from them.
These method is also employed in the production and marketing of yam, cocoa-yam, cat fish and other types of fishes.
The vendors that sells the food to the school are arranged 4 vendors to each school, and they buy their foods products from the regulated market created by the state government. For effective service a total number of 3,007 food vendors/cooks were trained and are currently employed to serve midday meals for pupils of classes 1, 2 , 3 and 4 in all primary schools in the Osun state. For easy identification, each of the food vendors was provided with uniforms free of charge.
The uniforms provided include gowns, aprons, and caps. The government of the Osun also facilitated provision of cooking utensils for each of the caterers at minimal cost. First Bank PLC granted a loan of ₦124.5 million to 123 cooperative groups of food vendors for purchasing cooking utensils. The government of the Osun also agreed to pay the interest accrued on the loan facility and food vendors are to repay the loan within 36 months (3 years).
To answer your question, this is another way to help the citizens out of the high bank interest rate on SMEs.Thanks for showing us some of the lapses of PDP led government regarding the high interest rate for the past 15 years. We all APC does not control the monetary policy.

Re: Apc’s Roadmap For Job Creation. Action And Words by CROWE: 1:07pm On Oct 15, 2014
This entire write up is designed to exploit the illiteracy of Nigerians. The economy of a nation is improved by investment in infrastructure and government policies designed to create a favourable business environment and then monies injected into the economy to induce growth. All this "we will pay people for 12 months while they look for jobs" is buying votes because if they don't invest in the business environment where is the job that you are supposed to find come from? I dunno who is good for Nigeria or who will fix her but I know that Atiku and Buhari just like most of you here screaming "apc! apc!" lack the faculties necessary to diagnose and fix Nigeria. I will probably be voting Jonathan if I bother to vote at all, he may be so far ineffective but his roadmaps and masterplans are designed by people who have some clue and it shows that there is something running around in his brain after all, more than I can say for most of them.
