Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has
disclosed ordering the employment of 1,000 northerners while in office.
Amaechi said while in office, he ordered the Director
General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to
employ 1,000 northerners.
The former Rivers State governor who was minister during the
administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, disclosed this at an event
in Abuja.
He disclosed that southerners were the highest employed in
NIMASA, hence his directive to engage 1,000 northerners.
According to Amaechi, he ordered the huge employment due to
the high level of poverty in the northern part of the country.
He said: “I built the University of Transport in Daura; I
did those things because I knew poverty was a problem, unemployment was a
problem.
“When I became Minister of Transportation, the South-South
and South-East had the highest number of employees in NIMASA.
“I called the DG of NIMASA and asked him to employ 1,000
northerners. I took northerners to China.”
