The legal luminary and senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Olisa
Agbakoba, has asked the minister of labour and productivity, Chris
Ngige, to understand that the minister's primary task is creating jobs
for Nigerians and not labour relations.
Agbakoba, who spoke in his Apapa, Lagos office, said: "We need to
focus on job creation. If we wait for job to be created generally and
slowly by process of inflating and expanding the economy, that will
take time.
He explained that it is not enough to have a Ministry of Labour and
Productivity that cannot create jobs, thereby confusing many
Nigerians, including himself, as to what the ministry is for.
