Atiku Vows To Reduce Federal Government Work Force If Elected by Oluwabash(m): 2:04pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has vowed to reduce the work force of the Federal Government if elected President on 16 February 2019. Atiku said he will reduce the federal government’s staff force drastically as part of his plans to restructure Nigeria if voted into office. This however is in complete contrast with previous campaign promises of creating jobs for Nigerians. Atiku made the vow in Lagos at a conference themed: Getting Nigeria’s Economy Working: A Pragmatic Approach. Atiku who is contesting alongside Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra state had previously promised to create 10 million jobs a year. “I will reduce the size of the federal government completely. I support restructuring and we will liberalize several sectors of the economy,” he said on his Twitter account using the hashtag #AtikuMeetsBusinessCommunity. “I don’t believe in giving people jobs which they don’t know how to do. I cannot hire anybody I cannot learn from,” he added, clearly insinuating that he does not have plans for unskilled or semi-skilled workers. Atiku also stated that his companies employ between 40,000 to 50,000 workers, a far reduction from the claim that he had previously made that he has over 100,000 workers in his various companies. On social media, Nigerians are reacting strongly albeit differently to the conflicting promises of Atiku who served as Vice President for eight years during the administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo from 1999-2007. |

cosby02: extralargehead:I am no Atiku fan, but this truth needs to be said: The best way to create jobs that build economy is not by government employing people directly please. He can still cre8 jobs by creating millions of thriving start-ups if he has the idea. 1 Like |

Oluwabash:Op which school did you attend? Job creation can be in the form of non interest loan for entrepreneurs. Federal employment is not in the real sense job creation b/c it increases recurrent expenditure. 1 Like |

Lol. BMC zombies fake news. Let me tell you, I'd even rather an economy that provides the means for me to be an entrepreneur than to be working for federal government. 1 Like |
