Sale of national assests will worsen nigerian economy

The  Centre for Human Rights and Social
Justice has advised President Muhhamadu
Buhari against the plan to sell the national
assets.
The Chairman of CHRSJ, Mr. Sulaiman
Adeniyi, who said this in a statement made
available to our correspondent in Osogbo
on Monday, said selling the national assets
would compound the economic problem
facing the nation.
Adeniyi said the sale of the national assets
would worsen unemployment problem,
saying Nigerians would be worse off for
this. He urged the President to reconsider
and stop the move in the interest of the
masses.
He said, “Those who were canvassing for
the selling of our National Assets and
wealth, were looking for ways to acquire
Nigeria properties through the backdoor by
legal means, alleging that majority of them
were part of those who caused the
economy woes for the country.
“He should look for how to revive all the
moribund industries like Steel Roiling Mills,
Ajaokuta Steel Mills, Nigeria Machine Tools
and host of others which would generate
employments to the teeming youths, who
are losing their jobs as a result of the
present economy doldrums.
“Labour unions and civil society
organisations in the country should not
pay lip service to this issue of national
interest. If the Federal Government
remains adamant on this anti-masses
agenda, labour unions should roll out the
drum of national peaceful protests across
the states of the federation on October
1st, 2016.”by chibabynaija2
