He stressed the need to give priority to education, saying it “is the bedrock of development in any nation’’.

He also stressed the need for attention to be given to agriculture, adding that as the highest employer of labour, it would go a long way in alleviating the suffering of Nigerians.

“ The party is committed to creating job opportunities for Nigerians, especially the youths to avoid restiveness.

“ It is the priority of the party, also, to empower women to be self-employed without necessarily waiting for government jobs,” he said
