Where is your son ingige. I need a plumber urgently to fix my toilet.
Idiot. Your children will fit into CBN, NNPC, NDIC, FIRS etc while the masses that voted your oga deserve to be plumber and carpenter.
You are made minister of labour, but how many job have u created, instead you are taking it from Nigerian youth. God will judge you and all of you over there.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has advised Nigerians to carpentry, plumbing, and not focus only on white collar jobs.

Ngige believes Nigeria’s high unemployment rate can be greatly reduced if more Nigerians embrace blue collar jobs that are largely neglected.

He made this known during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, April 24, 2019.

The Minister noted that the Federal Government has an established vocational skills policy, but that Nigerians think blue collar jobs are beneath their status. He said;

"It (unemployment) was an issue and that was why we did an advocacy and told people not to look at only the white collar jobs. There are blue collar jobs. Skills. You have to train your hands. You have to do plumbing, carpentry, tailoring.

“We had to do the vocational skills policy. The NDE (National Directorate of Employment), one of my parastatals, has at least three or four vocational skills programmes.

“We have our specialist skills centres in Lagos, Ibadan, Kaduna, Bauchi, Calabar, Warri, Enugu, and all over the federation.

“We now have many in collaboration with the state governments. We send them people to train them. And people come in there as apprentice and after we finish with them, we empower them.

“But the problem is that, how many people are ready to come there and train?

“They regard those jobs as jobs that don’t befit people’s status, but it’s not true. We’re counselling people that going to do these jobs doesn’t make you an inferior person.

“But here, everybody wants a (white) collar job. They want to stay in air-conditioned office. They want to work in the bank or oil companies and nothing less than that.”

I WELCOME THIS ADVICE FROM THE MINISTER OF LABOUR, DR NGIGE.

IT IS LONG OVERDUE AS MANY GRADUATE FROM UNIVERSITIES, POLYTECHNIC AND COLLEGES OF EDUCATIONS IN NIGERIA ARE LANGUISHING IN UNEMPLOYMENT YEARS AFTER GRADUATING FROM TERTIARY SCHOOL.

But I am disturbed about the huge number of universities in Nigeria both federal owned, state owned and privately owned since government policy is geared towards craftmanship, artisanship etc.

Why is universities and polytechnic that is teaching business administration, public administration and all the THEORY THEORY increasing by the number.

There should be federal government policy to encourage tertiary institution set up to train tailors, plumber, divers, carpentars.

SINCE IT IS HANDWORK OR CRAFTMANSHIP THAT IS ON THE HIGHER DEMAND.

IT IS BETTER WE SCRAP OUT SOME OF THIS EXCESS NUMBER OF UNIVERSITIES THAT IS SET UP TO TEACH PHILOSOPHY, BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ALL THAT TRASH.

SINCE THERE IS NO WHITE COLLAR JOB AT THE END OF 4 YEARS OF STUDY.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP GRANTING LICENSE TO OWNERS OF PRIVATE UNIVERSITY IF THEIR AIM IS TO ESTABLISH UNIVERSITY THAT WILL TEACH BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION OR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AS AGAINST CRAFTMANSHIP OR HANDICRAFT.

Well the idea of blue collar jobs is not a bad one anyway, just that our policy towards enhancing them is so frustrating.
