In the spirit of workers day, Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has called on Nigerian Government to support micro and small medium enterprise to reduce unemployment in the country.
In a post share on his Twitter handle, Obi said
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.
Peter is currently contesting for 2023 Presidential election.
He recently passed PDP Screening, now waiting for primary election.
