The Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Ajibola Basiru, gave the advice in a statement titled, “Contribute to economy through skill acquisition,” which was made available to news correspondent in Abuja.

He said, “The days of waiting endlessly for job opportunities in government agencies can no longer be sustained economically.

“Over 70 per cent of the Federal Government budget is going into debt servicing and overhead and there are little resources available for core economic activities.

“However, the situation is not as gloomy as people paint it.”
