Nigeria In One Minute

‘FG can’t provide jobs for all’

Published

on

The Presidency and the Industrial Training Fund on Tuesday said that the Federal Government and its agencies could not provide jobs for all Nigerians.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation and Youth Employment, Afolabi Imoukhuede, said the Federal Government would create an enabling environment for the economy to thrive.

This, he said, would in turn create jobs for the teeming youths.

In an interview with The PUNCH shortly after a one-day interactive forum organised by the ITF , Imoukhuede also stated that the Federal Government would continue to leverage on various social investment programmes, including the N-power to provide jobs for the nation’s youths.

He said, “There is no government that can do that. It is not the job of the government to create jobs for their people, rather, it is the job of the government to create enabling environment that would allow trade and commerce, demand and supply to thrive. By doing this, jobs are created.
