The minister said that the government would continue to provide meaningful ways that create job opportunities for the nation’s teeming unemployed youth so that they could contribute to nation building.
“What is critical for us now is to come out in our large number and vote, and in doing this, we should vote for APC so that it can continue with the good works.
“It is only this administration led by President Buhari that can save us from hunger and other threats that were caused by past administrations.
“If you notice, importation of rice and textiles among others have been stopped by the Federal Government while the ones produced by our indigenous companies have taken over,” he said.
