 The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government of increasing the unemployment rate in the country.

While addressing youths in Kwara State, Saraki blamed the unemployment problem on the alleged lack of economic knowledge by the current administration.

“It is only the President that knows how to create jobs that our youths want. The government cannot give all the youths jobs. How do youths get jobs all over the world?
“They get jobs because the government will allow people to set up businesses, people will set up factories, people that want to be entrepreneurs will be entrepreneurs. It’s not by the government.
“So anywhere that the President will have to bring people in, jobs will be created. For three and the half years, the highest number that we have seen since Nigeria started, of people that have not got jobs is under this government because ‘dem no sabi am’,” he said on Tuesday.
Saraki, who is also the Director General of the Presidential Campaign Organisation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called on the youths to vote massively for the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
According to Senate President, Atiku can deliver jobs to the teeming employed Nigerians if given the opportunity in the February 16 presidential election.
“You can only give what you know. Let us move out and vote for Atiku. Atiku will bring jobs. When there is a job, our youths will get jobs. Without that, there will be no jobs for you.
“Please our youths, don’t make mistake. And in Kwara, I want to vote en masse for Atiku. I don’t want 55-45 or 60-40 or 65-35,” he added.

Ahmed said the move had become imperative as a result of the fiscal challenges the government is confronted with in providing infrastructure for its people. She, however, noted that the increment will only be done after due consultation with the National Assembly. “There will be a VAT increase. During the course of 2019, we will have clarity as to which items and what the rate will be and we will have to take a request to the National Assembly for amendment before it takes effect. “There is also going to be luxury tax. Already, there is luxury tax imposed on things like jets, yachts an...
