President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that he is \u201ctrying very hard\u201d to provide jobs for Nigerian youths.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buhari made the disclosure when he received Boukekri Rmilli, the Foreign Minister of Tunisia at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement signed and sent to DAILY POST by his media aide, Garba Shehu.<\/p>\n

The President also expressed satisfaction with the growing role of agriculture as a strategy for jobs creation among young Nigerians.<\/p>\n

According to Buhari, his administration would increase its support for agriculture as a mechanism for jobs creation.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe are trying very hard to provide jobs, for our youths. We are investing heavily in agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the uncertainty in the oil market and the huge unemployment situation in the country, we chose to put our fate in agriculture. I am glad that our young people are accepting agriculture instead of waiting for white-collar jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are out there sweating it out in the sun, making a living. Agriculture is the way to go, even when we are realising this almost belatedly.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the administration recognises the progress Tunisia has made in agriculture, tourism and medical health, and will shortly, from now, raise a team to visit that country to identify sectors in which the two countries can work together.<\/p>\n

In this regard, he expressed happiness with the resuscitation of the Nigeria \u2013 Tunisia Binational Commission which was attended by a large delegation of businessmen and prospective investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
