Delegate Decries Exposure Of Female Bankers To Prostitution
Mrs Felicia Sani, a delegate at the ongoing National Conference, has
condemned what she called “the exposure of female bankers to
prostitution through unrealizable target set for them by their
employers’’.
Sani, who is the President, Market Women Association, made the
criticism on Wednesday in her contribution to President Goodluck
Jonathan’s address at the inauguration of the conference.
She said such a trend which has had a great impact on socio-economic relationships should be discouraged.
“At the end of each year, banks make millions of Naira, yet they employ young girls and give them unrealisable targets.
“Why will you ask a young girl who is somebody’s wife, or sister or
daughter to go from office to office to look for N400 million in a
month?
“It is not possible. Let us discourage it. What kind of money are we looking for?’’ the delegate said.
Sani also decried the low patronage of made-in-Nigeria goods by Nigerians.
“If you go to Nnewi in Anambra, there are no parts of a vehicle you
will not find there. Instead of buying them, our people prefer to jump
into the next available flight to Japan to buy goods.
“Similarly, if you go to Aba, you will see assorted shoes made by local manufacturers. Yet, Nigerians will not buy them.
“But, once the label is replaced with `Made in America’, our people will buy them,’’ she said.
Meanwhile, another delegate, Prof. Ganiyu Raji, who represents Oyo
State, has also called for improvement in the country’s power sector to
promote industrialisation.
In his contribution to President Jonathan’s speech at the
conference’s inauguration, Raji said inadequate power supply had led to
the closure of many industries in Nigeria.
He said this had resulted in an increase in the rate of unemployment.
Raji urged the Federal Government to ensure that the national identity card system worked to produce a national database.
Also, Mr Hassan Rilwan, representing Youth Organisations, suggested
that the allowance paid to members of the National Youth Service Corps
should be drastically increased.
He said it should be equivalent to the salary of a Grade Level 8 Step 1 officer in the Federal Civil Service.
“This will enable graduates to save money to start any business of
their choice at the end of their service to the country and reduce the
level of unemployment and insurgency in the country,’’ he said.
