The PRESIDENT, Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, CITN, Dr. Cyril Ede, has at the 40th induction ceremony of the institute held at NECA house, Ikea said that employment opportunities, educational standard will increase if the right policies were put in place.
In his words
“It is on this note I present the institute’s recommendations towards identified issues in the 2019 Federal Government budget.
“There is potential for the government to increase productivity by investing in education with an emphasis on quality over quantity.
“The economy requires an average of five million new jobs annually to reverse the unemployment trajectory that has subsisted over the years. To achieve this, the economy needs to grow at an inclusive growth rate between 5% and 6 % per annum.
“Deliberate policies should be activated to drive economic growth.
“The budget should inspire hope and not only on the churn of figures. It can do better in assuring Nigerians of the reversal in the observed gale of unemployment.”
More so, the budget ought to detail a plan of action beyond the statement of incomes and expenditures.”
