“What makes the efforts of the government unnoticed is because Nigeria’s population grows faster than the rate of jobs. 

“The population grows faster than the rate of job creation. On job creation, we have done creditably well.”

On efforts made to cushion the effect of Coronavirus on workers, Keyamo added;

“The FG has made a special fund available to cushion the effect of COVID-19. People at the grassroots; the unskilled labourers are a big part of the economy.”
