A former Speaker of House of Representatives and Ogun State Governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Dimeji Bankole has promised to tackle mass unemployment if elected as the governor of the state in 2019.
Bankole said as governor, he would not concentrate on construction of bridges at the expense of teeming jobless youths.
The governorship candidate who disclosed this during a tour of Imeko-Afon local government area of the state, lamented over the bad condition of roads in Imeko and its environs.
He claimed that the condition of the roads in the area was deteriorating, saying the current administration had done more harm than good to the people of the local government.
The governorship candidate also paid a visit to the traditional ruler of Imeko-Afon local government, Oba Benjamin Oyeditan.
Bankole assured the monarch of mass employment opportunities for the youth of the local government.
He said “I will not stop saying it, mass employment is our watchword. We cannot open our eyes and watch the youth being jobless. I can’t promise what I cannot do. I want to assure the people of Ogun State that if elected as the next governor of the state, I will make sure I provide jobs for the youth because our youth need job to live on.”
