The National Directorate of Employment has opened online registration for Phase Two of the Renewed Hope Employment Initiative, aimed at tackling unemployment and equipping Nigerians with vocational and digital skills, Daily Watch Nigeria reports.

Director-General of the NDE, Mr Silas Agara, announced the launch of the registration portal and the supporting digital infrastructure on Monday in Abuja.

“After the success of Phase One, we have enhanced our infrastructure to make Phase Two fully digital.

“We have deployed robust hardware, software, and internet connectivity to all 37 states, including the FCT, to ensure seamless operations,” Agara said.

According to him, applicants must be between 18 and 45 years old, possess a valid National Identification Number, and reside in any part of the country, regardless of their state of origin.

He added that participants would be trained in over 30 vocational and digital skills tailored to local economic needs.

“The skills vary by state.

“What’s relevant in Abia may differ from Adamawa, so we have customised training to maximise local opportunities,” he said.

Registration will run from July 28 to August 11 via www.nderegistrationportal.ng, while application processing will take place from August 12 to 22.

Agara warned applicants not to fall victim to fraudsters, noting that participation in the programme is free.

“No payment is required to participate.

“Any suspicious activity should be reported to our headquarters or state offices. We have job centres in all 37 states, including the FCT,” he said.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

The earlier you understand that life is not a bed of roses and all fingers are not equal, the better for you. Everybody cannot be rich at the same time. Everybody cannot put on good clothes at the same time. Everybody cannot travel out of the country at the same time. Everybody cannot be educated at the same time. The world is like that to create a balance.

If you are in the position of those politicians, you might even be worse than them.

Rindo69:
So, you put your hope and aspirations in your leaders, vote them into office. You hope that these leaders can lead the country on a path of prosperity but what happens. They enrich themselves, send their kids to the best schools and put them in juicy positions basically setting them up for life. You, the voters, because you are unemployed and unemployable due to their neglect of the educational system, stiffling economic growth with their inability to provide good roads and electricity, piling on more taxes, have to make do with skill acquisition programmes. I hope you know many people who will sign up are graduates from the universities who couldn't get jobs in their field of study .

You call this a win abi!

Jeshurun101:
Do not get me twisted. Let us reason together. Can government employ every graduate? Nigeria is producing more than 350 thousand graduates every year.

Those who are occupying government offices are not willing to leave anytime sooner: they falsify age to extend their stay, thereby leaving the graduates stranded. Your loved ones might even be among those commiting this atrocious act.

Unemployment is a global crisis. This is because of the rising population. The available resources cannot meet the demand of the rising population. I am not disputing the fact that there are corrupt politicians. Indeed, there are!

Rindo69:
In Nigeria, government is the largest employer. This is why our government offices are filled with the most mediocre people and nothing works. The work of government isnt to employ, the work of government is to create an enabling environment that triggers growth, growth in an economy generates jobs! You cannot pay 70k a month minimum wage and expect growth. Growth comes from consumption, you earn more, you spend more. You spend more, factories and manufacturers have to produce more. In order to produce more,they employ more people!
