The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has reinstated the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari to providing employment to unemployed Nigerians.
Oshiomhole stressed that Buhari has taken steps to ensure jobless Nigerians are provided with jobs adding that, Buhari was working to rejuvenate the textile industry in order to provide jobs.
The Chief Press Secretary to the APC National Chairman, Mr Simon Ebegbulem, disclosed this on Tuesday in a press statement.
He noted that Comrade Oshiomhole stated this when a delegation from the Vietnamese Government paid a visit to members of the National Working Committee NWC in Abuja.
Oshiomhole noted that the Buhari administration was fighting corruption rigorously in order to accelerate the progress of the of economy.
He said ”it is as a result of this that the APC led administration is fighting corruption vigorously so our commonwealth will not be concentrated in the hands of a few but that of the majority “.
Oshiomhole added “With a population of 200million, we have the advantage of a huge market but we also have a huge challenge of ensuring economic growth that will make that 200 million people comfortable. Before the coming of President Buhari, we have missed a lot of opportunities.
“We had challenges in power supply and of course we have our own share of security challenges. And of course, the President had to fight corruption so that few people cannot take the wealth of this nation. Nigerians voted overwhelmingly for our President, so we are going to take advantage of this second term to ensure that we accelerate economic growth so that we will meet the needs of our people.
“Right now we are focusing on ensuring that we have a power supply. Vietnam has a strong textile industry and you have an international market, so I am glad to know about that. I am particularly keen on this because I work in the textile factory before and I think that there are one or two things we can learn from your experience because we are on the verge of reviving our textile industry which will help us create jobs.”
He stressed that APC was formed in order to ensure that the economy was properly managed.
Oshiomhole said “That is why you see the APC which was formed in 2014, our key objective is to ensure that our economy is managed in such a way that it works for the good of the majority and not for a few.”
