Senator Chris Ngige, minister of Labour and Employment, has also endorsed that the estate adding that the initiative was in line with the Federal Government’s efforts to maximally reduce unemployment in the country.
He said: “You know the unemployment situation in Nigeria is critical and the private sector should not leave it for government alone to solve. So, this is a typical example of the private sector partnering with the state government to create jobs and give shelter to the citizenry.
“This is what government owes the people, which is to give them a sense of belonging, put shelter over their heads, give them access to work so they can also be gainfully employed and then give them good health.” Ngige stated
