Tunde Bakare, Senior Pastor of
the Latter Rain Assembly, has launched another attack on the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.
Bakare berated the Buhari-led
government over the current rate of unemployment.
Speaking in Ogba area of Lagos
State, the fiery preacher said despite government’s promises on security, job
creation and anti-corruption fight, all that is being witnessed are, “signs of
retrogression.”
According to Bakare, “This
administration anchored its policy outlook on three main thrusts, including
security, job creation through diversification, and anti-corruption, yet all
around us are signs of retrogression.
“As at June 2015, the
unemployment rate was 8.2% of a labour force of 74 million, meaning that about
6 million Nigerians were unemployed.
“By September, 2017, despite such
efforts as N-Power and a range of policies aimed at improving enterprise
development and facilitating job creation, the unemployment rate had risen to
18.8% of a labour force of 85.1 million, indicating that between 2015 and 2017,
the number of unemployed Nigerians rose from about 6 million to almost 16
million.”
