The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Friday in Abuja urged the Federal Government to fulfil its promise on job creation and youth employment in the country.

The NLC General Secretary, Peter Ozo-Eson, made the call in a statement he issued in commemoration of the 2016 International Youth Day.
Mr. Ozo-Eson said as the NLC felicitates with Nigeria youth and the world on the commemoration of the 2016 International Youth Day, it was imperative for the Federal Government to fulfil its promise to them.
He said it had become particularly significant because the 2016 celebration was focused on the leading role of young people and ensuring poverty eradication and achieving sustainable development.

The NLC scribe said the celebration would also promote ways to engage youth in becoming more actively involved in making positive contributions to their communities.
“The congress is committed to the issues of youth empowerment because only then can we guarantee the future of our nation and the sustainability of the labour movement.
“This is also in line with the United Nations 2016 theme which is ‘The Road to 2030: Eradicating Poverty and Achieving Sustainable Consumption and Production’.

“It is in realisation of the role of the youths in the trade unions and indeed the society at large that the congress has adopted a Youth Policy as part of the activities to mark this year’s International Youth Day,’’ he said.
Mr. Ozo-Eson said a youth conference would be celebrated on Aug. 14 and Aug. 15 in Abuja with the theme: “Promoting Youth Participation in the Trade Unions’’.

He said as the youths celebrate the International Day, it was important for the country to support them in decision making.
Mr. Ozo-Eson said that this was the only way that democracy would be strengthened and would also enhance participatory development for the progress of all.

“Once more happy International Youth Day celebration to all the young workers and people and do remember we are with you in your struggles,’’ he further added. (NAN)

Buhari should Force treasury looters to establish factories producing goods that are imported.

You mean looters like Amaechi, Fashola and Dambazuo?

They are on a goose chase again...un serious fellows

We have too much of old men in this cabinet so what do u expect?

Why do NLC search and cry for a dead statement among the present situation when they know fully well this administration had even forgotten when they made such speech.

So sorry bro, I can see frustration all over you!

With what you just posted, I can see that what u need now is food on your table at least to be able to live till tomorrow, na person wey dey alive dey work

Shebi dem Don create n power.... Make we see as dat one go be, den I ll judge.... APC yeye no b 4 here o

Nothing good will come out of the conglomeration of evil men!

APC is evil

APC says Padding is not a Crime, very soon, they will tell you, Failure to fulfill election promises is not a Crime.
I blame their supporters, they too are feeling the pains but they are too dumb to speak out

So, we still have NLC in this country



I thought they've been completely and permanently silenced!

JuliettaBitch:

Yeah sure I don't care who they are.

Lol...una don enter 3 chance.I warned u guys before now

These people should take their problem and go. Fulfilling promises comes on striving economy. Let him rebuild what has been destroyed for years then we are on course. Gradually we are getting there

Masquerade dressing nko

Bubu don make mouth more than what is in the treasury.

Only God can bail Nigeria out.


They should just steady the ship. The recession is spreading across the globe and unless we arrest ours on time, it will be devastating.


Make no mistake Okonjo Iweala saw this coming.

She screamed that we should brace up for hardship and tougher times ahead about 2 years ago. That was her talking as a professional not a politician.

This is a statement made in 2014. So things would have gone terribly worse if GEJ were to be there.

Some one who can not manage oil boom will fail woefully during this recession.

k

Promise and fail is a sin

Buhari don suffer

buhari can you please be useful for once?

Do u think creating of job by fg it's a day thing .there is no miracle that can be done in this aspect , creating of job by fg should be seen as a long term project , as the country is currently going the way it is , I don't see that happening now they lack the platform to do so .

Oluwabusobomi:

Ma'am, don't tell me you are a zombie

Decomposing one for that matter.

Patiently waiting for Lai Mohammed to come and deny this campaign promise

Am not surprised. Apc-amalgamation of political criminals. Or rather all promises cancelled
imagine the suffering in the land. A foreigner once said that the problem of nigeria is this youth. That nigerian youth lacks a good sense of reasoning. Now i begin to understant his statement
life is not always fair if not i see no reason we the reasonable youth who knows the hidden evil about apc and decided to vote for jonathan should be suffering along those zombies shouting sai buhari during the last election. Anyway i trust edo state my home. They know what to do this forth coming election!

Even God cannot fulfill the kind promises this confused party made to us you know why? Cos faith without good work is dead. Habaman!! Thank God I never fell for their sweet mouth. Come over to the north now and see those handicap persons that voted for this government dying. Yesterday one of them was begging for #200 to buy gari, I politely told him that 2h can't buy garri again, he should wait that very soon buhari will start paying 5k. Life's hell in the north now. They are suffering the effect of their choice most. Meanwhile

and NLC crawls out again to make their useless and hopeless statements...

Pls I wnt to know if dis govt is aware of d masses cry because I nearly cry yesterday when a mudu of yam flour was sold for 700 naira.Which way forward ?Our graduate children Wt good grade can't get work.

So many ghost workers , if youths were filled in those work positions, unemployment will reduce, can u imagine that one foolish !diot will be collecting salaries of 30 people, all to himself and the graduates or youths are stranded with no jobs
