“The global system of employment has changed. We have passed the level where the government alone will provide employment. This is why the government is working hard to provide infrastructure for businesses to thrive so that the private sector can flourish and provide employment opportunities for the citizens,’’ he was quoted in a statement by his spokesperson, Ismail Mudashir.

Earlier, in his address, the Kano State Chairman of JIBWIS, Professor Abdullahi Sale Pakistan, urged the federal government to address what he called, ‘’ growing hardship in the country.’’ 

During their visit, the members of the SCSN led by their vice president, Dr Bashir Aliyu Umar, said the removal of fuel subsidy had raised the poverty level in the country.
