ReplyDeleteThis people can lie. They do not think before opening their mouth.
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed of this apc mouth job creation. If you mistakenly or purposefuLly fail us in this dispensation. You know what to do!
ReplyDeleteMany will begin to clap for Buhari and his government for 500k jobs when we have millions of jobless Nigerians. This present administration should wake up from their slumberand make things right. They should invest more on Agriculture, Electricity and states police. These alone will create millions and millions of jobs. What is 500k jobs when millions are jobless? It's more like doing nothing. NIFOR is dead, Ajaokuta Steel Company is no go area, Nigerian Airlines is a forgotten issue. Buhari should wake these companies and many more out there and the economy will be booming and there will be job opportunities for Nigeria youths.
ReplyDeleteAs funny as this news headline sound government is bold enough to grab it. How can you advertised a minimum wage job in a sane country and 35 million people apply for it? As my mum will say;how big is a town that will produce thirteen mad men???
