The Federal Government will create no fewer than one million direct jobs in 2016, the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has said A statement issued by Laolu Akande, his Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Media and Publicity, quoted Osinbajo as saying that another one million poor Nigerians would benefit from the first phase of the Conditional Cash Transfer Scheme.

The statement, released to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja, said that theVP made the remark during an interactive session with a cross section of Nigerian Community in Burkina Faso. Osinbajo was Burkina Faso to represent President Muhammadu Buhari at the inauguration of the newly elected president of that country Roch Marc Christian Kabore.

He said that President Muhammadu Buhari had announced job opportunities for 500,000 graduate-youths to be engaged as teachers. He added that an estimated 500,000 non-graduate unemployed people would be trained as artisans. The Vice President explained that the Conditional Cash transfer Scheme was intended to utilise the thrift system to grant loans to market women to enable them improve their businesses and earn decent living.

He said the homegrown school feeding programme would not only provide adequate nutrition to school children, but would also boost agriculture, create jobs and wealth locally. Osinbajo assured the Nigerian community that the fight against corruption was a continuous one. He said that the Buhari administration would not only prosecute those involved but also recover all the loot that had been traced.

Osinbajo d pastor, stop all these lies jare...tins wey una no fit do within four years, una go dey lie say u fit use 1yr do am wen we no be fools...una (pdp,apc) wey no serious

Causing problems for buhari just likely the 5k promise he made

Hh

Another (broken) promise

we cant wait oooooo. thats how dey ll be promising us up and down.

Just what Nigeria needs, 1 million more people on the public payroll, when the government is already having to borrow heavily to cover its budget! Besides, wasn't the priority going forward supposed to be on capital expenditure?

This is just the latest in a long line of statements by Osinbajo that all indicate he has no understanding of economics and where the government's priorities should lie. A sensible government would concentrate on enabling the private sector to create real, well-paid jobs, instead of promising to add another million mouths to a payroll already full of under-employed people.

Easier said

that govt of will.

that would be the first miracle by this govt next year. considering how thousands are loosing their jobs daily.

Its well

E bi like say dey wat to tell us another story ooooooo again ooo.
