==========

The federal government is set to launch the Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (I-DICE) Programme on May 15, aiming to create two million jobs. Vice President Kashim Shettima announced this at a roundtable event in Abuja. The administration anticipates a reduction in unemployment rate through initiatives like the outsource to Nigeria initiative and IDICE. Shettima emphasized the need for patience and collective sacrifice from Nigerians, stating that positive changes will soon be evident across all economic indicators. He also discussed the removal of petroleum product subsidies and the country's debt crisis. The interventions put out by President Bola Tinubu have been categorized into eight areas, including job creation, economic growth, food security, poverty reduction, access to capital, rule of law, anti-graft war, and inclusive development. Former Finance Minister Dr. Shamsudeen Usman urged the reconciliation of the Renewed Hope Agenda with the country's medium and long-term plans and called for ministers who underperform to be sacked.
