Soludo As An Exemplary Catalyst In Job Creation

While Nigeria’s economic narrative has been one of struggle in recent times, with the nation desperately seeking answers, the debacle of acute unemployment is a critical pain point. In the first quarter of 2024, Nigeria’s unemployment rate was reported to be 5.3%, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)​​. This reflects an increase from the previous quarter’s 5.0%​​. These figures highlight a continued worrisome trend of rising unemployment in the country.

Set against the background of dwindling revenue at federal and state levels, and stalemate over a new national minimum wage, recruitment into public service these days can be a herculean task for any leader. But the seemingly impossible is being done in the southeast, especially in Anambra State, under the progressive leadership of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, who has become an exemplary catalyst in job creation.
