President Buhari Reveals Major Plan For Second Term

President Muhammadu Buhari has restated the commitment of his administration to creating jobs for the youthful population of Nigeria.

Speaking Thursday in Abuja during an audience with Guy Ryder, the Director-General of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), President Buhari said: “In the last four years, this government prioritised Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure development.

Our focus in these areas was to create jobs today and ensure peace and equitable prosperity for future generations.”

The President added that it was simply impossible to continue to import food with the nation’s population.

“On agriculture, it was simple; a country with a population of close to 200 million has to be able to feed itself. We cannot rely on importing food.”

President Buhari also told the ILO chief that his government had “attacked head-on the big deficit in Power, Roads, Bridges, Rails and Housing … in order to ensure adequate housing is available today and for many years to come.”

He attributed some of the achievements of his government so far to consultations before taking critical decisions affecting the labour force.
