Vice President Yemi Osinbajo Vice President Yemi Osinbajo

Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has said that the Buhari-led administration had always prioritized employment for the youth over everything else.

In a statement addressed to the media, Osinbajo said the federal government has integrated job creation in all its major policies, projects and programmes.

This was disclosed on Monday, August 2, at the formal presentation of the research report of course 29 of the National Defence College, titled; “Creating jobs and opportunities for Africa's largest youth population”, at the Presidential Villa.

He said: “If you recall, when the President was speaking concerning the budget in 2019, he mentioned that one of the critical things to do, concerning every Minister, is that, with every policy, we must state how many jobs to create.

“So, the key question that we ask regarding any government policy is how many jobs will this bring about, how many jobs it will create. And aside from that, there have also been several engagements with different policy bodies and ideas concerning job creation.” FG gives enabling environment for job creation
