One of the crises confronting the Nigerian nation is the seemingly intractable employment crisis which experts and many social commentators warn that it is a time bomb waiting to explode.

In fact, many have attributed the upsurge in crime rate across the country to the army of able-bodied idle minds that have indeed become the devil’s workshops all over the country.

While concerned bodies like Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, NECA, has been playing their part to finding solutions to the problem especially through skills acquisition and upgrading of skills through technical training.

The Federal Government which through the National Directorate of Employment, NDE, among others, now seems determined to up its efforts at addressing unemployment.

Giving this hint was the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, who explained that President Muhammadu Buhari is poised to achieve a significant reduction in the unemployment rate in the country through the construction of new skills acquisition centres as well as completion and rehabilitation of abandoned centres.

Ngige spoke during the ground-breaking ceremony of the Federal Specialist Skills Acquisition Centre, FSSAC, in Ifitedunu, Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State.

“The good news is that the Federal Government is assiduously working towards achieving a significant and sustained reduction in the high rate of unemployment in the country, within a short and medium time frame, through well-articulated strategies which include the construction of new skills acquisition centres, completion, and rehabilitation of abandoned and dilapidated centres across the country,”he said

The Minister emphasized that the focus on vocational skills acquisition as a strategy to combat youth unemployment was predicated on its successful deployment by both developing and developed nations to stem the tide of unemployment and trends in modern labour market demand for a developing nation like Nigeria.

Ngige noted that the specialized skills acquisition centers were also designed to provide hands-on skills in modern building and construction, including welding and fabrication to produce metal doors among others.

“We are focusing on skills acquisition because of the trends in modern labour market demands for a growing country like ours.

With a huge housing deficit of 17 million and with the estimate construction of 1000 housing units in each of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria has the potential of creating over 3 million jobs in a year with huge multiplier effects.

Countries like America, Britain, and Canada are reported to have recorded 70 to 80% contributions to their Gross Domestic Products through housing and construction sector, this is achievable in Nigeria,” Ngige said.

I can't waste my time to read any crap from this Anambra dwarf.

You didn't tackle unemployment since. You are active Now, that we are ready to send you people back to your various states in 2019.

This is an herculean task for APC & Buhari who careless about Nigerians.

The solution to unemployment is rooted in the match between the human resources produced by educational institutions and the problems inherent in our society...When the house is full of flying insects and we are busy producing cutlasses and hoping that sooner or later we will be able to overcome the insect infestation then we must be joking.

Don't Believe politicians without human feeling....
