The deputy governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has urged students to strive to be self employed and job creators as governments job opportunities are shrinking in the country.

Shaibu who is currently the acting governor of  the state gave the advice during the 25th  convocation of Auchi Polytechnic, in which 486 students bagged distinction.

“In a world of shrinking government job opportunity students must seek to be self reliance and job creation, entrepreneurial and vocational knowledge must be made to part of the training of our students.

“As for you graduands, don’t forget that Nigeria of today is in another phase. In those days, when you graduate like this, jobs are waiting for you, houses are waiting for you, cars are waiting for you. You must strive to be self reliant and job creators,” he said

According to him, the economy of the country now demands that all hands must be on deck to stimulate the nation’s growth and development.
