How We Became Unemployed 2. Written by Seun Onigbinde

The imported subsidized oil is used to fuel our imported generators on which Nigerians spend almost 2 trillion naira. What of impact on the environment and so on. We might have created jobs for the generators sellers in Oyingbo and Mikano might employ ten maintenance engineers but what is the multiplier effect on the general good of the economy. The same goes for rice and sugar importation when we have plains of fertile land. Vietnam, China and Thailand farmers will surely be smiling as our demand crumbles their inventory. We have the tact strategy, clear roadmap and implantation plan to fix this anomaly. I have seen volumes of documents, so I am not a nerd presenting new ideas. There is just a system that benefits government stooges.


They tap Nigeria like strings with efficient importation and collection of subsidy and you wonder why they would be happy to keep the system that way. The government that stands as a bridge for public good is scrambling for identity.


Our job agenda rather than distribute more motorcycles, make graduates traffic wardens, tree planters or cleaning officers, should be to first knit our education system with match classroom -to -industry teaching, entrepreneurial skills, boost infrastructure, SME lending and explore our natural resource from first to last end of value chain, and in between jobs will arise. Open new frontiers of service industry and upgrade skills of young talents to meet them. Dangote did a jobs report with FGN and one wonders if it a’int gathering dust. Sorry, he just employed 15,000 tanker drivers at the expense of the roads, are those the jobs we are dreaming of?
