President Buhari Orders NBS To Provide The Correct Statistics of Unemployment Rate

President Muhammadu Buhari askes NBS to correct statistics on the unemployment rate in the country. President Buhari has ordered the statistician General of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)  Dr. Yemi Kale to correct the high unemployment statistics and reflect the rising rate of employment in the agricultural sector.

The senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity Alhaji Garba Sheu said that during a meeting with the federal executive council, Dr Kale admitted that the NBS was only focusing on the creation of white collar jobs and not the agricultural sector and the informal sector.

Sheu Garba also stated that the President subsequently told him to go and correct his error to members of the public and make appropriate changes. According to Garba, Rice Produces Association of Nigeria has publicly stated that they have created 12 million new jobs.

However, a spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar campaign organization Mr Shaibu lambasted Garba Sheu accusing the President of tempting to alter jobs statistics on the eve of elections.
