Second sensible post. Restructuring as a stand alone tool can't defeat unemployment.

trillville:
Unemployment is not the problem but a symptom. The real problem is our low productivity which can be traced to our infrastructural deficit. If we had good transportation infrastructure, Electricity and a working judiciary that ensures contracts are enforced, Unemployment will naturally reduce.

The Problem
Why the government can not provide this infrastructure is because a majority of the income Nigeria earns is expended on recurrent expenditure, that is paying Civil/Public Servants who account for less than 10 percent of our total population. Imagine you had 10 children and earned only 10 naira monthly. You take that 10 naira and give it to only 1 child and tell the other 9 children to provide services such as producing food, creating Entertainment, importing clothes and electronics, and even washing the clothes of that 1 special child to earn a living. You provide no security, no health care, no electricity, no water, no nothing to aid the progress of the other 9 children, yet when you announce to your children that you want to reduce the amount spent on the special child, all your 10 children will protest that you are wicked, that how do you expect the 1 child to survive. they will complain that instead of you to make them that special child, you are trying to further worsen all of their situations. This is the tragedy Nigeria currently faces.

The Solution
Increase the amount budgeted for capital expenditure which can be done in the following ways:

1. Raise taxes on the rich in society. Taxes such as estate tax, vehicle tax, luxury taxes. All taxes should be progressive, that is the larger your property, the higher your tax rate. This will invariably start a war on Effizy and should reduce people's craze for the wanton accumulation of wealth.

2. Conduct Business Analysis on all MDAs. if an MDA is not providing a highly important service such as education, health or security, and the MDA is not providing any sort of profit, either scrap the MDA completely or reduce the workforce drastically.

I am not an expert in government but why do we have road safety, civil defence, police, mobile police, DSS, VIO. Why? why so many different organisations.

What is the work of RMAFC? Can it be replaced by software and a single office in the ministry of finance?

We have NASRDA, NIGCOMSAT, SHEDA, PTDF, NITDA, BOUNDARY COMMISSION, POLICE COMMISSION, FEDERAL CHARACTER COMMISSION, ETC. someone should please tell me if these places are earning any income and how these places have benefitted the average Nigerian on the road. It is simply crazy. We don't have roads, we don't have electricity, we don't have water and we are spending lots of money and haven't gotten any tangible benefits from our spending in the last 10 years.

3. Conduct Business Process Analysis in Organisations that provide useful services. The fact that an organisation is useful does not imply that all workers within the organisation are needed. The government should relate job functions to specific roles within every organisation. An extra worker not providing any service will probably reduce the efficiency of other workers (Law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity).


In Summary, money saved should be used for infrastructure. If the Government were to reduce its workforce, it will be forced to also reduce its unnecessary spending and wages also because Nigerians will not be smiling and would require quick results to alleviate the suffering from these actions. In my view, this is the only way out for Nigeria


ps. sorry for any typos

vaxx:
your ideology will strengthen the rich...do not forget the rich has a cooperate entity that protect them ,if not careful the poor will remain poorer

trillville:


Please explain further. My plan is to tax the consumption of the rich heavily and to provide shared infrastructure. How will that make poor people poorer?

ReneeNuttall:
There's no country that can solve unemployment all over the world, unemployment rate can only be reduced.Using Nigeria as an example,first thing I will do is remove all those old chimps at the very top,who are clueless and yet very corrupt,and employ young,vibrant, intelligent and updated people.
Fix our refineries, instead of exporting our petroleum products for refining,and importing them back.
Invest more on technical skills and acquisitions, education,and ofcourse revamp our agricultural build companies,etc. These can serve as a means of employment.



Those will be my first tenure agenda.

@the bolded, you remind me of Malthusian. You know him? If not read about him and see how people like karl marx proved his worthless theory wrong
