Busola AroDoyin Salami, the president’s chief economic adviser, has warned that if the poverty disparity in the country does not ease, pressure on Lagos will continue to rise.Making a case for adequate job creation, the president’s chief economic adviser said there is an urgent need to meet the citizens’ expectations “for a better life”.
“It is important for Nigerians to understand the dynamics of demographics whether locally or globally,” Salami said. “This is because in many countries there are rising populations, and these countries require labour, and are wealthier countries which pay better and have better prospects to that extent, you must expect that Nigerian youths who have the opportunity will move on.
“My challenge is only in one part, which is, jobs need to be created. Absolutely we cannot be growing the population without creating jobs. We must also add to it the upskilling of our youths.
