Controversial catholic priest, Father Ejike Mbaka, has called on the government to create mass employment through entrepreneurship.

Mbaka said creating a platform for entrepreneurship will help take millions of youths, women and families out of poverty, hunger and economic hardship in Nigeria.

He made the call in Enugu while expressing concern over the prevailing economic situation in Nigeria.

The fiery preacher decried the high rate of unemployment among youths, stressing the need for an urgent measure to tackle the menace.

The Catholic priest stated that insecurity would fester if key social problems in the country were not addressed, adding that the current situation has made it important to encourage and support women to embrace entrepreneurship.

According to Mbaka: “This is the time to create mass employment through entrepreneurship and take millions of youths, women and families out of poverty, hunger and economic hardship.

“FeeFund is coming at a time Nigerians need it the most. It is important to address the country’s ongoing problem of economic hardship. This is why I have endorsed FeeFund. This is the way to go if we must create jobs for our youths and women.”
