Mallam Nasir El-Rufai says He can't find Jobs for his daughters

While speaking at a lecture organized by the Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja Branch on Thursday May 23rd, former FCT minister, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, said despite his connections, he's yet to secure jobs for his two daughters, who are both holders of Masters Degrees.

He said this while pointing out Nigeria's unemployment problem, saying the country needed to create three million jobs yearly to tackle the problem. El-Rufai said: 

“Forty-two per cent of Nigerian youths are unemployed. I have two daughters with Masters Degrees and they are unemployed. They have been at home for more than a year and I cannot get a job for them. We are sitting on a demographic time bomb and unless we have visionary leaders that are able to plan for the future, we will have a huge problem."

Question is if El-Rufai can't find jobs for his daughters who can then get jobs? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Because the Nigeria we used to know, all El-Rufai needed to do is place a call to someone... or is the level of heirachy way higher than the usual ??.  What ever the case is, it's not a good predicament in our country because every year fresh graduates are pushed into the labour market.
