Governor Bird urges clarity on 1 Million jobs promise

East Sepik Governor Allan Bird has called on Parliament to provide clear details about the government's commitment to creating one million jobs by 2027. Speaking on the floor of Parliament, Bird stressed the urgency of the matter, noting that the deadline is fast approaching as the country nears the end of 2026.

Bird referenced the Prime Minister's report on the government's seven-year performance. This report highlighted that 2.5 million students are currently enrolled in schools and are expected to graduate soon, underscoring the need for a concrete plan to absorb them into the workforce.

The governor's plea emphasizes the growing concern over the timeline and the practical implementation of the job creation promise. With a significant number of students set to enter the job market, clarity on the government's strategy is crucial to ensure future employment opportunities.
