Former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential aspirant of the PDP, Peter Obi, has advised the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari to support micro, small and medium scale enterprises
The former running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar said this in a goodwill message to workers, in remembrance of workers’ day
“In commemoration of #WorkersDay, I urge the Nigerian government to aggressively support micro, small and medium enterprises, which are the engine of job creation, so that they can effectively contribute to reducing the unemployment rate, as is the case in other nations.
No country grows economically with a 35 per cent unemployment rate, which, when combined with under-employment, will be 55 per cent. That’s a figure of 60 per cent of unemployed Nigerians being youths—the greatest asset of any nation.
I congratulate all Nigerian workers on their celebration of Workers Day while encouraging the need to uphold the beautiful virtues of diligence and hard work.”
