In a Facebook message posted on his wall yesterday
evening, VP Yemi Osinbajo said the Federal Government
will provide 3 million jobs in the next three years starting
from this year. He said the jobs will be provided in the
Technology, Wholesale & Retail, Construction and Agro-
allied sectors of the Nigerian economy. He also stated
that this year alone, over 700,000 private sector jobs will
be created, majority of which will be in the Agro-allied
sector. Read what he wrote after the cut..
President Muhammadu Buhari and I are accountable to the
Nigerian people.
The central focus of President Buhari's administration is
the creation of jobs. Every proposed policy begins with
"how many jobs can this policy create?"
Today, I received the Strategic Framework and
Implementation Plan on job creation and youth
employment in Nigeria jointly packaged by the Job
creation Unit of the Presidency, and the Nigerian Economic
Summit Group, NESG.
Three million jobs would be created in the country within
three years starting in 2016 especially in Technology,
Wholesale & Retail, Construction and Agro-allied sectors of
the Nigerian economy.
This year alone, over 700,000 private sector jobs will be
created, majority of which will be in the Agro-allied sector.
This private sector-led job creation plan is different from
the direct government jobs planned by the Buhari
presidency which includes the 500,000 teaching jobs for
unemployed graduates.
We are not unaware that this process of job creation is
slow but President Muhammadu Buhari's administration is
addressing the constraints of regulatory and institutional
delays in the business sector.
The Job Creation Unit was constituted at the behest of
President Buhari to initiate the job creation plan. The
National Economic Summit Group, private sector players,
validated the plan and will be working together with the
government to implement the job creation plans.
Together, we will get this right.
Together, Nigeria will prevail.
