The Senator representing Edo North in the 10th National Assembly, Adams Oshiomhole, has raised concerns over the increasing number of expatriates occupying jobs that could be handled by Nigerians.
Oshiomhole who spoke on Wednesday during a budget defence session with the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, criticized the ministry for allowing foreign workers to take up roles such as selling furniture and bakery products, tasks he argued are well within the capabilities of local citizens.
The former governor of Edo State who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior, stressed that no nation thrives by prioritizing expatriates over its own workforce.
“No country in the world allows all manner of people to come under all kinds of guises and they are given visas and whatever it is to reside in the country.
