“A major part of the solution may not be too far from the prevailing economic situation in our world today which seeks to put pressure on the men-folk who are mostly breadwinners in their homes” he said.

The ebullient philanthropist called for humanitarian organizations and public-spirited Nigerians to do more for society to mitigate unemployment in the country.

. In another development, Dr Azemhe Azena’s popular mass mobilisation program tagged “The Azemhe Mega Summit” is billed to take place in Auchi, Edo North senatorial district December 2nd.
