What happens if the census end up being a scam scheme where the actual joblessness figure is reduced in order to give credit to the GEJ admin?

k10: bad idea, so many employed people will register as unemployed just in case some remuneration is later paid in future...

This is another challenge they will face. Even those that are employed will claim unemployed just to change their jobs

na today?

I have escape from such category.

@Post

I think its not a bad idea.

Nigerians let be optimistic for once

rodeo0070: The Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation Initiatives, Josephine Washma, has hinted that the Federal Government intends to conduct a census of unemployed persons in the country early next year. Washma, who spoke to Daily Sun at an end of year dinner party, organized by the management of Premier Petroleum Company Limited, in Abuja, said the new survey, which will be carried out nationwide, will form the basis for the implementation of job creation initiatives of government.

“We are embarking on a new unemployment survey, in conjunction with the National Bureau of Statistics, to update the existing data base. We believe that NBS already has the structures to ensure a successful survey,” she said. According to the Special Assistant, the issue of unemployment cannot be properly addressed without a reliable data base, adding that proper job planning requires the knowledge of the number of the unemployed.

“So until we know how many persons are unemployed, how many are skilled, the number that are unskilled and how many of them can be given training upgrade to improve their performance. “What has been done before was a general survey but we want to segment that do as to enable us to direct efforts at those areas that are of critical importance,” she added.

Speaking on the renewed effort by government to tackle unemployment crisis in the country, Washma said President Jonathan has set up a standing Committee on Job Creation to chaired by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Nwogu. She said the committee which is to be inaugurated soon will drive the President’s intervention initiatives aimed at addressing joblessness among the youths in country. She said there will be a job creation musical show coming up early next year in conjunction with local and foreign entrepreneurs.

“It is something we should all look up to and give a chance to see how it tries to solve the unemployment problem in the country and by extension the issue of insecurity, ” she said. The Presidential aide said the committee will try in the interim to build on the unemployment data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and to move on to conduct unemployment surveys. She said NBS is also a member of the committee.

“There are various employment generation programmes being ran by government agencies but what we we need to do is to reassess such initiatives and to see if they actually, adding value or need to be restructured in certain ways to fit into the present expectations,” she said. “Let me say that the issue of unemployment has also to do with unemployable, that is the fact that a lot of our school leavers do not possess the require skills to attract employers of labour.

Their were CVs that I could not present even to traders in the market. So we are engaging on consultants that will help train these school leavers on how to prepare a resume because resume is the first step to securing a job. It is your marketing/selling point because the applicant might not be physically present when his application is being discussed, ” she said

Emmy9ite: Nigerian are always praying and waiting for jobs. No one wants to be creative enough to give other people jobs. Assuming they were no industries, who will employ the unemployed. We should act and think like entrepreneurs.

Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. If everyone create jobs, who will they employ? Who will be left to buy their goods and services?

The government should create employment, this scheme will not work IMO. We have a lot of dead governmental companies in Nigeria like that steel mill company (I've forgotten it's name). If they can resurrect such companies and build new ones, employment rate in the country will reduce. The govenment knows what to do, they are just not doing it.

I really wish corruption can be eliminated in this country, I sincerely wish so.

And where will that lead with the usual deliberate complacence and lack of will to actually make things work?
Or is that supposed to mean they mean business?

ok

Needless quoting all op's statement before commenting.

Abeg, make the jobless to carry out d operation, not employed once

Your system lack proper database system. You don't need this now only if you have been harnessing the principle of national database system.

What really qualifies one as unemployed? Because most jobs in Nigeria is really not worthy of making one employed. Let us have electricity and access to soft loan and see what Nigeria will become in a very shortwhile.

the most reasonable post i have read on NL for sometime now
They are all rushing to get degrees i wonder who they want to create jobs for them, when they graduate

after 4-6 years, suffering you come out to suffer again
its time our youths started dropping this rat race mentality and using their skills and brains to create jobs for themselves.
The last time i checked Mark Zukerburg was a drop out who used his talents and is now employing Degree holders who need a career and a salary

When ever i meet many young bubbling guys, i gist with them especially corpers funny enough 99% of corpers i have met have zero Entrepreneurial skills
this country is doomed if we all keep depending on degrees and Government to feed us.
