The business magnate advised the Federal Government to tackle the spate of insecurity in the country to make life, property and investment safe in every nook and cranny of Nigeria
He added that heavy investments in job creation would reduce criminal tendencies, poverty and frustration, particularly among the youth.
Dr Olatunde-Badmus said ” One way the Government can create jobs is to encourage the private sector to develop rapidly by introducing incentives that promote and protect investments.
The philanthropist added that government could create massive jobs by also encouraging investments in agriculture and Information and Communication Technology.
