Apart from Boko Haram, this is Nigeria’s biggest problem – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has highlighted unemployment as Nigeria’s second biggest problem, behind Boko Haram.

He raised the alarm after receiving a briefing from top officials of the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development led by the Permanent Secretary, Baba Umar Farouk, on Tuesday, August 4.

According to Buhari, the illegal activities have jeopardized many employment opportunities in the country.

The president stated that the mines and steel sector was significant in the diversification of the economy project.

“This is one of the most demoralizing briefs I have received. The biggest threat to this country besides the Boko Haram is unemployment and the mining sector is key to employment creation.

“We cannot be held back on such a strategic industry that can give us much needed jobs and promote economic growth.

“There must be more seriousness in running this country and we are determined to instill that seriousness,’’ the President said
