You forget 2000,000 million masquerade jobs by Lai...

Another one of the "white elephant" jobs that this regime wants to add to it's resume. They have not resuscitated the refineries in the country, Ajaokuta steel mines is still dead despite always budgeting money for it, I can go on and list more "white elephant" projects that this government has embarked on.
Whoever believes ends up believing this "tales by moonlight" from this apocryphal government, then such a person should be in the emergency ward of a psychiatric hospital.

This is another pattern ministries use to attract FG's money. Phantom job creation drive. God help us.
