The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to create about 1 million jobs through an online initiative, the Integrated Youth Development Initiative. The Initiative which has been designed to address the nation’s high unemployment rate in a practical way aims at monitoring youth development in the country closely.

Special Adviser to the President on Job Creation, Mr. Obi Adim said:

“We are looking at creating about one million jobs a year. We have various sectors we are looking at such as Information and Communication Technology, entrepreneurship, and skills acquisition.”

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria currently has an unemployment rate of 23.9 per cent. In a recent media chat, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation, Josephine Washima, said that the initiative has received a lot of buy-in from stakeholders and that more details about the initiative would be announced before the end of July.

Washima noted that the initiative is quite different from the Nigerian Government’s Youth Enteprise with Innovation Programme, (YouWIN).

“The YouWin programme is a business competition, which is online-based and this is totally different from the Integrated Youth Empowerment Initiative. Our initiative is not a competition but it will empower the youth at the end of the day if properly implemented,” she said.

She emphasized that through the initiative, Nigerian youth will be equipped with the required skills that will help transform their lives.

Oh how i wish i can clear my leaders for our coloner master to come and rule,at least no corruption,good housing,gud jobs,normal life,quanlity education,did i hear anybody for slavewot is more than the slave we are in now

It suffices to say:
Seeing is believing..
Am optimistic though..but until they prove otherwise, Nigeria is used to talking without acting, promises without fulfilling them, and ideas without transforming them into benefits.
As an advocacy, implementation alone is not even enough, we need proper implementation by following and monitoring projects to make sure their objectives are achieved. Ensuring the beneficiaries are true and not influenced or based on unequal opportunity.
