Founder of the Network for the Defense of Democracy and Good Governance (NDDGG), High Chief Sobomabo Jackrich has reacted to the statement by Governor Wike that the report of the unemployment rate in the state by the NBS is false and politically motivated.
The Governor had faulted the report of the commission for rating Rivers as one the top three states with the highest unemployment rates in the country, stating that his administration has generated over a 100,000 jobs.
Jackrich in a statement yesterday faulted Wike’s claims.
“The only jobs Rivers citizens have benefited under him are menial jobs of daily pay for our youths; task force jobs which have turned our youths to touts; and all state-owned enterprises which were hitherto functional before now are grounded and not revived and no new investments in place that would create employment for Rivers people,” he said.
