₦airaland Forum

The Nigerian Labour Congress has asked the Federal Government to put in place strong measures to revive the ailing country’s economy, saying the country was bleeding and need urgent attention.
Speaking at the 2016 May Day celebration in Abuja, President of the NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba said it was unfortunate that one year into life of the APC led federal government, the government was yet to bring out a blueprint for the creation of the three million jobs annually contained in its manifesto.
While admitting that the unemployment crisis in the country is a reflection of the wider national economic crisis, Wabba said “we have persistently pointed out, there is hardly any household in Nigeria where there aren’t at least two or more unemployed persons who have graduated from various tiers of our educational system, looking for job placement for upward of three to five years.”
“The ruling APC government in its manifesto promised to create three million jobs annually. We have waited one year for the government to bring out its blueprints on how it intends to go about achieving this.
“Congress will seek audience with Mr. President to get more information on this important matter. On our part as workers, we will be prepared and willing to contribute to any effort to create a ‘Job Creation Fund,’ nationally to tackle this problem.
“Our worry as organized labour is that if no concrete convictions are secured in the many corruption trials going on, between now and the next 12-15months, those who have stolen these huge fortunes will start feeling that they can outlive the Buahri Presidency, and return to a regime of “business as usual” as far as corruption is concerned.”
He stressed that while in the last twelve months of the Presidency of President Buhari, INEC has been left to run its show as it deemed fit, the desperation of politicians of the two mainstream political parties gives of cause for concern.
“Unless the unfinished reforms started with the partial implementation of the Justice Mohammed Uwais’ electoral reform committee are completed, we see dangers ahead.
“Among these reforms waiting to be implemented is the establishment of the Electoral Offences Commission.
“For us in organized labour, unless our politicians know that there is real possibility that their electoral rascalities carry real penalties of jail terms or long term disqualification from contesting for public offices, the type of disgraceful mayhem witnessed during the recent election in Rivers and other states would continue unabated.
“Similarly, unless we fine-tune the procedure for the appointment of the chairman and key officers of the electoral management body as recommended in the Justice Uwais report, the current progress made in the independence and operations of INEC are not irreversible”.

Lets wait for his Nairaland VOLTRONs to come and do their "shameful defending" as usual.

Good request from the workers. But...

... Anyone expecting a blue print from a dullard is just wasting his/her time. Blue print ko, Black print ni.

After promising three million jobs annually, They are rather creating enabling environment for more Nigerians to be sacked.

One year don pass no job.

No wahala........

Na carry over be dat

Meaning Buhari is owing 6 million jobs

Aisha rice eaters will be here soon. They won't disappoint her, they will come in well medicated defense of why Nigeria is bleeding and of course blame Jonathan

Someone in this government will soon come out and call Ayubba names for demanding the blueprint for the creation of jobs or outrighly deny promising 3million jobs. It's saddening really to see this government fail in every aspect of the economy.

With regards to job creation though, I believe the government should still be given time atleast till the passage of the budget.

I hope they don't fail us on this.

The economy is in comatose already

The CHANGE AGENDA is at play.

After getting sacked by Babangida in 1985, how many people was Buhari able to employ in his home town of Daura? None!

If Buhari couldn't create a single job in Daura in 30years, why do some buffoons expect him to create 3mil jobs?
Buhari's only experience in business is Pastoral farming. Except we want him to turn our youths to herdsmen in that case be ready to be Buhari's malu.

In lie Muhammed tone " have they blame Jonathan today"

The economy is in comatose already

The CHANGE AGENDA is at play.

Happy New month boss

The first Labour needs to ask is: does he (Buhari) understand what a job blue print is. Please let's stop wasting our time with this failure called Buhari.

Labour you guys are just waking up! Good morning!

Seriously speaking, After promising three million jobs yearly; Rather what we're experiencing is thousands of job loss and retrenchment monthly.
