The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has challenged aspects of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) report.

On Monday, the NBS said the country’s unemployment rate decreased to 4.3 percent in the second quarter (Q2) of 2024, compared to the 5.3 percent recorded in Q1 2024.


The report also said the employment-to-population ratio, which measures the number of employed workers against the total working-age population, increased to 76.1 percent in Q2 2024.



According to Punch, Chris Onyeka, the national assistant general secretary of the NLC, criticised the report and described it as a “voodoo document” that fails to reflect the stark realities Nigerians face daily.


Onyeka said the figures are a “fabrication designed to mislead the public”, adding that the data was inconsistent with the deteriorating economic landscape.

“Unemployment cannot be coming down in Nigeria when factories are closing shops,” he said.


“It cannot be coming down when there is increasing inventory and reduced consumer spending. If anything, unemployment is increasing.”


He questioned the methodology behind the report, describing it as a “figment of imagination concocted by people who want to manipulate figures”.



He also challenged the NBS to substantiate its claims by identifying the sectors supposedly generating jobs.

“Once data does not reflect reality, it loses relevance. Unfortunately, the NBS has lost credibility as a result of the data they continue spewing out,” he said.

“Where are the jobs coming from? Is it from employers who are complaining of consumer resistance and slowing economic activities? It doesn’t add up.



“The truth remains: the NBS has become a failed institution, much like INEC in the eyes of the public.”

NBS does not care about how you guys feel about the stats.

WakeUpNigerians:
Nigerians beware of audio actions:

After OBJ's Report:
NBS came up with fake growth statistics
Tinubu came up with fake promise
NNPC came up with refinery now working
EFCC has now arrested Yaya Bello

We are waiting for what next to start working.

We are watching the trend!

If you read the OBJ report very well, you will notice he exposed some of their deep corrupt secrets.

The same refineries OBJ said will never work?

900warriorz:
Una don dey confuse me oo...is the refinery working or not?

Previous post is saying mid 2025

There's two NNPCL refineries in PH, one has start operation today

izuch:
It's already mid 2025

There's two refineries in PH

900warriorz:
I am not understanding this twist oo

Sebi una say trucks don dey load say una don dey active...wetin con be this one again?

There's two refineries in PH, one of them is now working, the other one will start operation next yeat

SmartPolician:
I pity those who will fall for this trap. Buying those refineries now is like buying a faulty Mercedes 230 when others are buying GLE 450. Where will you get the parts to fix it?

Using new parts to fix wornout parts of the PH refinery is one of the reasons it never meets the repair completion target. Once they try to power the refinery, another part breaks down.

Look at what an adult is saying

Shey this is not a fake news sha? I will only believe if I see solid evidence. I will be so happy if the news is true sha

It looks like Dangote refinery

Bendeco02:
If they do, then the only chance for tinubu is massive rigging and Nigeria will not take it come 2027.

No one will go to court by 2027. So they should get prepared for the consequencies that will follow the manipulation of results.

If they create and contest under a new political party, the election will only become easier for Tinubu.

Okortor:
Come to my barracks to say this.... Indeed here's a faceless forum. Born by mistake product like you .

Look at the kind of things joining the military

Emma09:
And Nigerians are Shouting for these people to take over government. Nonsense.

Obidients not Nigerians

JASONjnr:
Absolutely nothing.....

You should ask yourself what benefits a woman is to man without s*x?

Never give in to this manipulation.

The moment a woman brings this topic up, I will just look elsewhere....

A girl who was to visit me told me that we won't be having s*x and no taking baths together or attempting to touch...
I asked her if she was a virgin and she said no., I told her I wasn't interested in to continue from the talking stage anymore.

You made the right choice. Why will a non virgin claim there will be no sex in a relationship

They are wailing over nothing

saseremichael:
You seem not to understand politics, the move is just an indirect approach to be reinstalled as the members of the Assembly

It won't be easy for them to defeat Fubara candidates in an election

#ISWAP/BHT raided a Nigerian F.O.B. in Karito, Borno State. Several vehicles were destroyed and soldiers were killed.

The terrorists seemingly used an Explosive-laden vehicle (SVBIED) to lunch the attack, later by coordinated mass attacks.

I once watch a YouTube video where American soldiers were attacked like this in middle eastn. The motar team took out the explosive laden vehicle after it stepped on a mine set around the camp.

May the soldiers keep on RIP

Sholaco:
We are not stupid as you are.
You are part of the problem Nigeria is facing.
Don't try to paint the issues as if you are a victim here.
You were trying to obtain money from the issue and God disgraced you.

So how do you know this?

Osiris12:
You recorded to Dey rip the offending officer.

Your past misdeeds caught up with you
May your soul rot in hell
Your children will be a source of pain to you

Do you have an evidence to prove this?

SmartPolician:
The kinds of data that NBS churns out shows that the bureau is not in tune with reality!

If you have no proper data management system, you have no country.

Why don't you show us the stats you carried out

Something that should have been done weeks ago

Davido made a careless statement.

Macphenson:
No you are the confused one. Just watch events unfold. It is called polititcs for a reason.

Lol

Some of you guys are just so funny

Read what's written below

In an apparent move against pro-Wike rivers lawmakers, the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Damagun, has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a bye election to fill up their seats, following their defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

I wander the kind of politics you're trying to claim is going on here

Macphenson:
And who told you the lawmakers will be removed? Who told you INEC is going to conduct elections? Just dey play.

Hope you're not confuse sha? Damagum the PDP chairman is telling INEC the lawmakers are no more members of the PDP because they left the party

Macphenson:
Do you think its going to be against him? It wont, theres a game plan. Same way he supported Tinubu against his party. Its called politics.

The only way he can fight Fubara is through those lawmakers.

Macphenson:
Why do I feel Wike is behind this hypocritical statement from Damagun?

Why will Wike be behind a move that is going to work against him?

BBC don cast baby factory

Mille:
Are they afraid to say that the so-called rabbit was an IDF soldier and mossad operative? Let me help you with a more appropriate picture.

What's with always posturing the man as a civilian or calling him a Moldovan instead of the IDF operative that he was.

He is not a regular soldier. Do you know Son the South Korean footballer playing for Tottenham also serve in his country military?

They should be killed in a gruesome manner. I trust the UAE sha, they will kill hem

Odingo1:
Ijaw people are indigenous to Lagos in Ajegunle area of Lagos, they first Yoruba people reach the waters of Lagos. Check your history.

Ijaws are not indigenous to Lagos. Unless you can prove it with evidence

Odingo1:
There is no indigenous Igbos in Lagos, Igbos don’t claim other peoples land. The indigenous tribes in Lagos include;
1. Egun
2. Awori
3. Yoruba
4. Ijaw
5. Ilaje

There's no Ijaw land in Lagos, aworis and ilajes are Yorubas. Be guided okoro
