UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WILL BE LOWER AFTER 2016 BUDGET IS PASSED SAYS THE PRESIDENT

 

President Mohammadu Buhari at a dinner he organised in honour of the visiting Alumni Association of the Indian Defence Services Staff College,DSSC, Wellingon, led by the Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Ghanashyam, yesterday, said that the problem of youth unemployment in the country will reduce after the 2016 national budget is passed.

Lamenting that 60 per cent of the country’s youth population was unemployed, the President said:

“We will sit down to see how we can rehabilitate industries. We will do this in order to clear the problem of unemployment. This is extremely dangerous for our country. We are meeting after the budget to see how to revive industry and secure the economy.”

The President also said that the insecurity in the North-East, abduction for ransom in the South and the sabotage of the oil industry in the Delta region are all connected to poverty and unemployment.

“We are meeting after the budget to see how to revive industry and secure the economy,” he further assured.

OKERENKOKO COMMUNITY ASK EFCC TO PROBE TOMPOLO OVER N13b LAND SCAM

 

 The leaders and people of Okerenkoko, Gbaramatu Kingdom, in Warri South-West Local Government Area, Delta State, have asked the Economic and Finance Crimes Commission, EFCC to probe Chief Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo, over an alleged N13 billion paid by Federal Government for the acquisition of the Maritime University land in the community.

Chief Micheal Johnny who represented the leaders of the community, in Warri, said yesterday that now that Tompolo had admitted that the alleged N13 billion was approved by the Federal Executive Council, FEC and Bureau of Public Procurement, BPP, Federal Ministry of Lands and Survey, Federal Ministry of Transport, NIMASA, the EFCC should ask Tompolo why Okerenkoko was paid only N360 million for the land and not the entire n13 billion.

They said Tompolo needs to tell the community and Nigerians where the balance of over N12billion, is urging the EFCC to invite Tompolo and also the immediate former ministers of the aforementioned ministries and agency to explain their respective roles in the administration of the funds.

The leaders insisted that EFCC should prosecute those involved in the diversion of the funds.
