Response To OLISAH METUH On APC Manifesto On Job Creation by DVanguard: 3:09pm On Feb 27, 2015
The APC Manifesto on 1 million jobs created in 1 year and free meal for Nigerian children in primary schools is interwoven using Osun state government employment policy.
Let’s start by determining the number of public primary school pupils that needs to be feed daily. According to data obtained from National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) an average of 20million students are enrolled in public primary schools. This comes to an average of 3.3 million students per level.
Osun state government spends about 2.04 billion naira yearly to feed over 254,000 primary school pupils within the range of pry 1 – pry 4, engaging 3007 community caterers (4 vendors/caterers per school). The Osun state govt spends N8, 031 to feed a child in a school calendar year.
2,040,000,000 / 254,000 = 8,031
To feed the whole primary school pupils in the federation (20,000,000 x 8,031 = 160,620,000,000) the FG needs average of 161 billion naira yearly.
This means the APC-FG led needs the sum of 161billion naira to create direct and indirect job by feeding primary school pupils. According to data obtained Local and State govt have over 72,000 public primary school spread across the countries. Using Osun state template of allocating 4 vendors/caterer to a school (Osun states feeds only pry 1- pry 4), then the APC Led –FG will have a template of 6 vendors/caterer to a school. The Caterers/vendors would employ at least 1 person to assist him/her; therefore 2 people have been employed directly or indirectly. (Caterer and assistant)
72,000 schools x 12 caterers = 864,000 job created.
The Federal govt need inspectors to ensure that the foods are given to the children as planned and that they are not short changed. Osun state government does not pay the caterers directly, the bank pays them. The banks have their representative and the state government has their own representative. Therefore, let assume the FG employs 1 person per school. 72,000 extra jobs created.
The APC Led –FG said they will create a commodity board (not sure of the name of the board) that will encourage the farmers by creating an artificial market with a controlled price regulation. This board function will help save the farmer from the huge lost/risk on their farm produce due to poor storage facilities. The commodity board will also be the source of food at a controlled and cheap price to the caterers that will feed the kids.
My experience in Osun, a friend approached O’agric he was given 2000 chicks, the chicks are to be reared for 8 weeks after which the govt will buy back for 450 naira per KG. This policy is another source of job creation, because there is a sure market available. This policy encourages farm produce not only rearing of chicks but cat fish, eggs, cocoa yam etc. The demand for egg for the students weekly is over 300000. Yet, the demand is not always meet but outsource from neighboring states to help augment.
Back to the job creation, from the direct source we can see that 936,000 jobs (caterer/inspector) have been created from feeding Children alone. The farmers, agric extension officers, the commodity control board officers etc have not been included. To achieve that for the whole country (774 LG) at least 50000 people will be required directly or indirectly.
Therefore the total cost to implement this policy should be estimated at ($1.5 billion) 300 billion naira yearly (exaggerated).
HOW TO RAISE 300 BILLION NAIRA
1. Buhari said he would convert all presidential jets to Nigeria Airways (commercializing it). This means it would no more be a liability but a source of revenue. We have 11 presidential jets.
According to report FG spends N9bn on presidential fleet annually dec 5, 2012. www.punchng.com/news/fg-spends-n9bn-annually-on-10-aircraft -presidential-fleet/ . Therefore, if the APC led FG converts the Presidential fleets to Nigeria National Carrier; we would not only forgo N9bn but would make more money into the federation account through the commercialization of the fleets.
Nigeria has over 60 BASAs with countries all over the continents but we have been unable to maximize the advantage. Most times politicians instead of technocrat are involved in our negotiations. Due to the absence of a true National carrier and Local operator to reciprocate the BASA deal, Nigeria has long been a recipient of royalties of $5 per passengers while foreign airlines goes home with swelled numbers.
According to NCAA records of international airlines, British Airways topped the list of successful carriers operating into Nigeria with ticket sold put approximately N32 bn in year 2009.
The executive chairman of Arik Air, Sir Joseph Arumemi-Ikhide said capital flight has led to weakening of naira and delayed economic growth. The poor handling of BASAs has resulted in serious flight of capital. Conservative figures from government agencies alone put the money foreign airlines repatriate annually at around N350 bn. www.jetlifenigeria.com/2014/02/bilateral-air-services- agreements/
Can you see the huge loss alone from the not having a National Carrier. With these, the country would be able to make more money within Nigeria and not taking abroad by foreign airline.
With proper handling, the FG can save N100 bn to finance the pupils feeding programme.

2. Empower the Military to fight the crude oil theft. If the Crude oil theft can be defeated and brought to the minimum of maybe 10 thousand barrel per day against the said 400 thousand barrel per day. With that blockage of waste, at least if 200 thousand barrel is recovered, the FG would have 200,000 x $59 = $11.8m to spend. In a year it will amount to $11.8m x 300 days = $3,540 million extra. The will power by the government to curb crude oil theft will save the country such huge finance (political will makes things happen; present military war against BH now successful, because somebody decides to wake up from his slumber).
3. $3.540 bn x N200 = N708 billion naira generated.
4. Addition of Projected N100 bn naira generated (taxes and profit from National Carrier sales of Ticket, No more N9 bn annually maintenance fee for presidential fee, all government agency patronizing National Carriers will reduce the huge N350 bn loss annually to foreign Airlines) plus the political will of the government to fight crude oil theft.
5. The sum of N808 billion naira will be generated annually. This is more than enough to execute the program.
Only two sectors of the economy have been able to raise such huge fund. The wastage in the system and the corrupt practice is much that if blocked revenues can be generated greatly.
When the General talks about corruption, he is right because corrupt practice have not allowed us to get the best out of ourselves. There are lots of funds in the society but the government responsibility is to guide its citizens within the framework of the law.

Yes, Osun state have not been able to pay its workers because of the dwindling fund from the federation account. The crash in the crude oil price and the poor management of our resources by the present FG caused it. At least not only Osun state government is involved, over 20 states in Nigeria including PDP and APC states.
Thank God you did not fault the job creation exercise.
The conclusion of my write up explains that with strict measures and zero tolerance for corruption with the dwindling price of crude oil in the world market, Nigeria can still sustains its challenges. Osun state govt tried it and it is a success. The feeding of the kids have not stopped yet and the employed youths are still employed. The job created still exist. Let the PDP Led - FG do its part of paying states their rightful allocation. Remember FG still owes over 70,000 staffs salary.

Dont derail the topic, is the job creation possible. Osun state was used as a model. That tells u the job can be created. the PDP led govt is fustrating them. the state borrowed to execute some infrastructure project which requires removal at source. the loan required to finance the outstanding debt was refused by the FG. Is it not funny, all of a sudden the FG approved the loan facilities for 4 APC states since 2013. Osun indigenes believes the PDP LED FG is frustrating their state govt. He owes only 3 months, while PDP states like Kogi, Benue and Plateau owe minimum of 8 months. Yet , they cannot boast of people oriented program like this.

I don't see that happening. It is so impossible. Moreover, I don't buy that feeding of pupils tales. That's backwardness. If not why will something previously terminated by GMB now be a source of campaign.

We need more of these cash spent in roads, railway lines, power sector, steel industry (Ajaokuta, Alaja steel and Itakpe precisely), oil industry (building of refineries), etc. These are actually areas that will created jobs, not feeding pupils and calling it job creation.

It is too cushion the effect of unemployment within the first year of their regime. more jobs will come from other sector.but those sectors requires proper planning, design and implementation time. The feeding policy is a federal policy on UBE.

If it was a success then why are the Osun workers complaining? If am not mistaken, most of the people that voted in Gov Are were the artisans/undereducated. Why didn't these workers fully support him? Why are they hiding the info on how they spend the money allocated to them? If not that they spend it recklessly, will they hide the info?

On the feeding spree, I still don't buy the idea. You can't tell me feeding children will help caution the effect of the economy because it can't/won't. It will only tie down moneys that should be invested properly. If they seek the services of qualified personnel, the contracts of road construction, and some other ones won't take them take years to plan like you postulated.

I still think if we're to move forward, then the government has to go straight to more important projects that will better the lives of Nigerians. Remember the more time you plan, the more time you waste and leave projects unexecuted and we all know how Nigeria is, "no continuity in government projects". I can tell you that any project left uncompleted will still end up abandoned, the way GMB abandoned Ajaokuta Steel industry, while some will be cancelled like Lagos metroline.

I see the feeding spree as a way to syphone our funds and the good thing about APC is that they never loose power, when elected, you will have to deal with them forever, so don't hope too soon to remove pa Buhari even if he fails woefully..

Some people are starting up businesses and making it. Some people get jobs immediately after graduation while others takes time. I've not gotten a job yet after graduation and I still have hope because so many people were unemployed during OBJ's rule and same during Abdulsallam's, Abacha's etc. I personally didn't put Yaradua here because he didn't have enough time/chance to impact the economy.

Now, my elder bro started a diagnostic center, it was difficult sustaining it but he deprived himself a lot and with some bit of management skills and by God's grace his business has now been converted to a clinic.

This is someone that invested his last penny (about 2.5million naira coupled with the ones he borrowed.

Now you will wonder why a broke ass unemployed 2.1 graduate will be supporting GEJ right? Now let's check the US, how many jobs do their government create? Rather the private sectors drive their economy. I've given up in getting a job tho and am walking towards starting up my own biz that's why I've been applying for business grants competition. I can still see myself create jobs in the future. I do have some certain skills and am fast learner so I can't give up on an economy foreigners come into to invest.

Coal too has not been fully explored for its power generating,foreign income and job potentials!China still generates a large chunk of its electricity from coal.Do people know the bandwagon effect for e.g to the economy of Enugu state and Nigeria if a government that knows its left from its right comes into power?Enormous!
I wouldn't be surprised even if gold could be discovered in commercial quantities given government committed exploration,because there is said to be a village, cum town now,somewhere in the north where people troop in daily to hoping to hit it big in manual exploration for gold.
Anyone who faults what Buhari can achieve economically with his deep commitment,drastic reduction in corruption,heavy investment in mining and agriculture needs to go back and study basic,secondary school economics!!

.

Your observation is keen, and your objection valid. But you overlooked something: the multiplier effects on income of the proposed scheme and your idea are different.

The school pupils feeding approach will distribute income much wider because it would employ more people. Though I concede it may not create highly paying jobs, but it does not concentrate more money in the hands of the few.

Another thing you should note is this, the money spent by government is also savings for the parents, effectively increasing their disposable income.

So it becomes obvious that the target of the policy thrust is in this case the masses. In a sense, it is not money wasted.

You failed to understand that there are lots that are unemployed compared to the employed. Yep, i did not argue the non payment of ministry staffs salary.
The question is about the source of fund to execute the said program of APC.
The source of fund i proposed can u fault it. Osun state is a subset of the FG. if the FG gets its source of revenue wrong it will affect all states including Osun. Paying of salary is one side to ministry workers/civil servants while creation of additional opportunity is another. The failure on the part of FG is the result of over 20 states unable to pay the workers salary.
it is not a feeding spree, u failed to look beyond the feeding. The scheme is holistic. It brings a big conglomerate of professionals. It encourages farmers to farm cos there is a ready market available for their
products. The extension officers that enlighten the farmers, the caterers that prepare the foods for the students, the health workers that certify the quality of foods etc. It creates a big web of workers with less amount. With the money spent and the people involved is more than a project of 500bn naira road construction with less than 50000 employed. The effect of the money from that program will influence the economy faster than the road construction. Am not saying road construction is not important.
Ajaokuta not working still falls within the failure of FG to get their priority right. A GMB who does not invest in power and ajaokuta is deceiving itself. cos without this two sector ur industrialisation is under threat. Stop mixing propaganda with facts. Lagos metro line was due to the condition of IMF. Remember IMF/WORLD BANK apologise to Indonesia for the advice of devaluation of currency. this were part of condition given to GMB which he refused. but he has to pay the outstanding debt.

Anyone who faults what Buhari can achieve economically with his deep commitment,drastic reduction in corruption,heavy investment in mining and agriculture needs to go back and study basic,secondary school economics!!

Mind if I chip in something here? I'll take it that you gave me a go ahead.

Lmao! I don't see that coming anytime soon. If we're gonna be independent it has to start from

- producing our own steel ingots, billets, bars, plates, sheets, etc. Aluminium alloys finished products, etc.. And the industry to be used to produce these things are there but not fully functional so if anybody campaigns but never fails to mention Ajaokuta, Itakpe, Alaja and Delta steel companies (of which Ajaokuta is/was intended to be the largest steel producer in Africa), just know that person is playing with your intelligence.

- Why will I call a campaigner a joker? You don't even know about technological advancement of a state and its backbone which is steel production. Look around you, almost every metal you see around you is made of steel. We have loads of ores waiting to be tapped and processed.

- If pa Buhari mentioned mining as one of his intended area of investing the Nigerian wealth, then its ok but not convincing. If you mine metallic ores, will you sell these ores? What will be done to these ores? Are there not supposed to be processing methods and industries to process these ores. The ores: haematite, wustite, magnetite, etc are supposed to be processed using any of the following techniques: hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy and electrometallurgy which requires sophisticated set ups especially for hydro/electrometallurgy.

If you actually mention mining but didnt tell me what will be done to the ores afterwards to get the final metallic products, then I know you are eventually embarking on a shady project. Why shady? Because it is just like what we have in Nigeria with the oil exploration today. Crude oil is obtained and sold to countries with refineries and then bought back as finished products. Is that what we want? I don't think so.


- we building our own bridges/roads/rail lines/sky scrappers using indigenous civil engineering companies. To carry out construction projects, we will require the use of steels in order for them to be successfully excuted

- we have to also build our own automobiles which depends greatly on steel even tho much of automobile fenders are built using composites these days.

For that of coal, it is not the best option for power generation due to ozone layer depletion but its a good are to work on. The thing there is, do you just mine coals and sell? In this case too, you need coal plants and also need power generation plants that will convert the coals to finished products.

There are so many I can't list all..

PS: don't mind my metallurgical languages. That's actually my field.

Guys lemme give you the real development and the best area for our government or Buhari (of he wins) to invest if they actually wanna invest in indirect jobs creation.

How many graduates are we producing per year? Why will someone pay poor people 5k monthly when there are thousands of graduates pouring out of the university like waterfall?

Currently the aim of serving our fatherland is defeated yet nobody ever looks into that area, both GEJ and Buhari. Why don't they empower employees of NYSC, empower them with business management/planning/marketing/financial management skills or releave them off their duties and employ people with business backgrounds/qualifications to become NYSC workers.

Why did I say this? It's because we need to equip our corps members with business management, business planning/marketing/market analysis/financial management skills, afterwards, these corps members should be empowered with certain amount of money to help them start their own businesses.

Corps members should go for the 3 weeks camp, paid for one month and allowed to go to their states of choice to attend the Business trainings. After all these, then empower them and you will produce wealthy people on the long run and our private sector will boom greatly.

This is my contribution.

APC WITCHCRAFT BROOM CARRYING PARTY


The Schizophrenic sick Pa Buhari is a terrorist, deranged old brainless super clueless bastard
Apc is boko haram

Buhari can only be president in sambisa and shekau would hand over to him.

Osinbajo is fake and a loafer
