The level of unemployment in this country keeps on soaring everyday as more and more graduates receive (I deliberately avoided using 'earn' ) their degrees and diplomas only to join the unemployment queue. This is why i remember at a seminar i attended some time ago, the speaker said that graduates are so eager to write job tests that they will ask two women discussing about pregnancy test the venue of the test! The report by Professor Jega about the number of applicants for the INEC jobs advertised is a testimony to this fact.

The Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Thursday said 800,000 people applied for the 1,500 vacancies in the commission.
Jega, who made this known during an African Independent Television programme, denied an allegation that the commission had secretly recruited people to fill the posts which he said were well advertised in national newspapers.
The INEC chairman also flayed de-registered political parties which accused the commission of acting a script written by the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said the allegation was not only uncharitable, but also insulting to him and other commissioners in INEC.
Explaining the commission’s ongoing recruitment exercise, he said the commission was fair and acted according to the law.
According to him, apart from advertising in several newspapers, the advertisements were posted in state and local government electoral offices.
