Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, has pledged to create 1 million jobs within the first 24 months of taking office.
TheNation reported that former Lagos Deputy Governor Otunba Femi Pedro gave this assurance in Abuja when he explained the manifesto of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu at a one-way symposium.
According to Pedro, Tinubu has 12 key economic points to get Nigeria out of the current economic doldrum.
Other key economic activities that Tinubu will implement, he said, include: to bring back manufacturing companies like Dunlop that left the country many years ago; resuscitate the commodity boards; empower women; expand infrastructure provision and curtail the run- away inflation.
