Promising the creation of some 50,000 jobs by 2025 when he campaigned for the Presidency in 2020, President Irfaan Ali yesterday said that he believes the figure will be long surpassed before that time and he said that a comprehensive national development plan is being worked on.
“From a purely developmental perspective, we are well ahead of our jobs programme. More importantly, in terms of our job programme, we’ve been able to return jobs taken away by the Coalition government,” Ali told Stabroek News in an exclusive interview at State House when asked about job creation and the promises he made.
