“I am moved by the rising number of unemployed youths that graduates from our institutions with little or no hope, but anytime I see young men and women labouring to get into the civil service, I always wish I can do more than we are doing”

“the unemployment rate is unacceptable and every well meaning Nigerian should be concerned, in fact this encouraged me into politics, l believe with political power I will be able to assist more people to be gainfully employed”
