5.5m Nigerians Lost Their Jobs In The Last Years - NBS by psucc(m): 9:51am On Jun 06, 2017
Approximately 5.5 million Nigerians have become unemployed in the past two years of the current administration, figures from the National Bureau of Statistics has revealed.

According to the latest unemployment report released by NBS, 351,015 Nigerians became unemployed in the last quarter of 2016, bringing the total number of unemployed and underemployed persons to 28.58 million.

As at August 2016, 4.58 million Nigerians had become unemployed since the President Muhammadu Buhari administration took power.

That figured increased in the third quarter of 2016 to 5,134,913 as unemployment rate spiked to 13.9 percent.

But according to the latest NBS report, “In Q4 2016, the labour force population (i.e. those within the working age population willing, able and actively looking for work) increased to 81.15 million from 80.67 million in Q3 2016,representing an increase of 0.6% in the labour force during the quarter”.

“This means about 482,689 persons from the economically active population entered the labour force during the quarter.

“During the reference period, the number of unemployed in the labour force, increased by 351,015persons, resulting in an increase in the national unemployment rate to 14.2% in Q4 2016, slightly up from 13.9% in Q3,13.3% in Q2, 12.1% in Q1 2016,and 10.4% in Q4 2015″.

The Buhari administration promised to create millions of job in 2016, but NBS figures show that the jobs created could not match the fresh entrants of the labour market.

It is worthy of note that 27.44 million persons within the economically active or working age population decided not to work for one reason or the other in Q4 2016.

There were a total of 28.58 million persons in the Nigerian labour force in Q4 2016, that were either unemployed or underemployed compared to compared to 27.12million in Q3, 26.06million in Q2 and24.5 million in Q1 2016.

This is coming on the heels of the finance ministry report that said the Buhari govt has dug us into over 7 trillion naira of debt without any result to show for it and now nearly 6 million job losses ....This evidence of of ineptitude against the dullard is damning and should trigger impeachment proceeding against the wrecker of Daura

For all those using N-Power to tout job creation under this government:

Please deduct 200,000 NPower recipients (earning 30k each) from 5,500,000 (majority earning above 30k) and tell us the net figure.

This man's bad luck doesn't have limits. It's not about individuals losing jobs, but also the families and dependents relying on them. The impact goes beyond individuals. Dropshot I can see you are viewing, please be bold enough to drop a comment! tongue

Is it then right to say this administration's gift is like that of the devil? Give with the right hand and collect with the left? They deceive us with Npower and their likes, while more people lose out. God is watching

Fake news it must be.

Why? Because children of hatred and frustration always say it's fake news if the report is positive from NBS.

It's either all reports from NBS are fake or all are genuine. You can't accept some and reject others.

I'm reading the 7 trillion debt profile thread on FP right now. So we've borrowed ridiculous amounts but yet no single impact on the economy! It's a sorry case.

I think it's village people... shocked shocked shocked

On a serious note, i would be brutally frank with you. You don't have mental fortitude

You give up easily & you have an entitlement complex.

Look inwards at yourself. The truth is bitter, but YOUR OWN FATHER if he concludes you are lazy, maybe you should ask why

I spent almost 7 years without a job, depressed like you, but kept trudging on. The job i eventually got paid for all the tears.

A real man keeps standing up as he's getting knocked out. A "girl-man" stays down and hopes to be saved by the referee.

Labour market is hard everywhere WORLDWIDE (except maybe Iraq & Afghanistan). Keep applying. Goodluck

Well done Bubu


Like it or not, its our cross to carry. We were never hypnotized by voting him in. Every single Nigerian must suffer the pains until we realize that we need someone credible, younger and vibrant to leads us!

To hell with every single Nigerian!
To hell with those who see nothing wrong with this government!
To hell with every single NairaLander who comes out here to support the likes of Dino and Co!
To hell with NairaLander Mods who bans for no reasons!
To hell with NairaLand anti-spam bot!
To hell with anyone who mentions or quote me!
