“Therefore, it means that in whatever we do, it should be something of scale that should be able to create employment, not employments for hundreds but we are talking of employments for millions of people.' Nigeria EU
Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Prince Clem Ikanade Agba, has assured the European Union of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government’s commitment to the agenda of taking 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in the next ten years.
“The priorities remain the same. When the President campaigned for his first term in office, there were three major areas of focus. One was to grow the economy; the other was to enhance security; and, the third was the fight against corruption. These still remain the broad focus of the government. Agba noted that the Federal Government remained committed to the achievement of solid infrastructure development and economic growth, pointing out that a clear demonstration of that commitment was the launch of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan , which was functional in the exit of Nigeria from recession in 2017.
The EU team leader had, among other agenda, said that the United Nations and the EU were working on an initiative that would be launched next month at the United Nations General Assembly, called Integrated National Financial Framework to bolster the funding of Sustainable Development Goals .
