“By the time that government was out, we had lost Michelin, Dunlop closed down, the entire textile industry closed down.
“We were witnesses to the unprecedented levels of industrial obituaries. Factories were closing one after the other just at the time the then PDP government promised to create more jobs.
“These are issues we really want to engage. It will be every interesting to play back what people are saying”, he said
