Over Four Million People Jobless In Kano State

 

 

The Dean, Dangote Business School, Bayero University, Kano, Prof Murtala Sagagi,  has  said over four million Kano State indigenes are unemployed.

 

Sagagi  said this while delivering a paper at an event  organised by the Kano Concerned Citizens Initiative  in Kano on Saturday.

 

He blamed a  lack of developmental agenda  by successive administrations  in the state.

 

He called  on  politicians, business owners  and other stakeholders to work towards  a comprehensive strategy for the economic development and prosperity of the state.

 

The  don lamented that over 500 industries  had been   shut down in Kano due to effective implementation of government policies.

 

Despite the efforts of the state government to revamp   Agriculture, Sagagi, stressed that more needs to be done to revitalize the sector through the comprehensive transformation of farming.

 

Alhaji Aliko Dangote urged  the Federal Government to review its policies on agriculture and industry  to provide an enabling environment for job creation.

 

He also told  the FG to intensify  efforts on power generation in the country, regretting that many  industries collapsed in the state  due to erratic power supply.
