Mr Adebayo Shittu, the Minister of Communication, represents Oyo State in the federal cabinet while Chief Audu Ogbeh, Minister of Agriculture, represents Benue State.
I am happy that both ministers are very active in their positions.
However, what Nigerians expect Shittu and Ogbeh to use their good offices to do at this critical period is to create jobs for the nation’s youths. It is said that an idle hands is the devil’s workshop.
In the agric sector, there are many jobs that can be created. In the communications sectors, many unemployed graduates could be employed if the minister could explore all the options open to him to create jobs.
Now that hunger and deprivation are in the news everyday, I would want the Minister of Agriculture to get thousands acres of land for farming.
Unemployed graduates should be employed to work in the said farm settlements. Among other gains, Nigeria will have sufficient food.
On several occasions, we have heard that there are many jobs opportunities in the communications sector. That has to be demonstrated by the minister.
Nearly every Nigerian youth is eager to travel to the USA and UK for job opportunities.
But Nigeria is more blessed than either country. What is lacking is efficient and visionary mangement of the nation’s resources.
In this connection, the change that Nigerians desperately yearn for can actually begin at the agriculture and communication sectors.
