A veteran musician, Olaiwola Olagunju, popularly called “Fatai Rolling Dollar’’, has advised the three tiers of government to create jobs to check vices among the youths.

Olagunju told newsmen  in Lagos recently  that the tiers government should also provide enabling environment for the private sector to thrive and create jobs.

He suggested that adequate funding of the arts and other sectors would encourage many young artistes and other youths to be self-employed.

Olagunju said that an enabling environment would enable graduates to practice what they studied either by working for people or themselves.

“They will practice what they read and also make money out of it. If the arts sector is properly funded, you will see that the sector will be a beehive of activities.

“Professionals will come in; it won’t be an all comers’ affair. Some fresh graduates of arts will see money to do jobs and feed from them.

“But because of lack of funding, they cut corners, that is why we witness kidnappings and other vices which have eaten deep into the fabrics of the country,” he said.

He, however, advised the youths to be patient and avoid engaging in criminal activities.

The musician also urged young artistes to understudy veterans to be able to make the desired impact.

According to him, you must be under somebody to get it right before you establish yours, noting that this would make them to be relevant to themselves and the society.
