You made some good points because I agree unemployment can't be tackled in one fell swoop. Its a problem that can be solved through tackling other problems like industrialisation and all.

Be that as it may, specialisation is key. Some ministries are overburdened with roles, yet have little funds to meet all of them. Carving out ministries at low budgetary costs that will address specific problems isn't a bad idea. Ministry of employment doesn't necessarily mean their raison d'etre is to eliminate unemployment. Other indices are needed to achieve that. However they can help reduce the bottlenecks that is present in the labour market through ensuring the availability of labour market information, checking the activities of employers against unethical employment processes, and the setting of a workable blueprint to ensure a free, fair environment that elevates merit above mediocrity.

It appears you subscribe to this noble idea.

Do you mind helping me - because am at a loss here - based on your thinking, what do you think are the functions of this ministry?

See as u carry mouth like puci

Oh
You got some jokes.

This was the reason they never gave us a direction of their policies. They never told us about the kind of policy the intend to initiate and implement, not to talk about the direction the policy should take.

Just a day after inauguration, we're beginning to hear funny policies of an APC government that intends to right the wrongs of the PDP!

Now we know the direction of Lagos State Government's policy on wealth creation and employment (duplicating functions with the Ministry of Labour, we know that of the Federal Government's policy direction on security (by moving the Command & Control center from a non-combat zone - Abuja - to a combat zone - Maiduguri - can someone please tell us the policy direction on Power, Foreign Relationship, Transportation, Infrastructure, Finance?

PassingShot, come to the rescue here!

I posted the below even before your post:

I also don't think this is a good move. It's unnecessary duplication of duties and responsibilities.

In as much as I believe it is a wrong move by Ambode, we still have to wait and see if it will deliver any results outside what the Labour and Productivity ministry is set up for.

What problems do you have with PMB moving the command center to Maiduguri?

Apart from the fact that many experts have commended the move, we cannot expect him to act same way as GEJ while expecting different result. PMB has fought in civil war as well as leading the war to quell Maitatsine Movement in the past. So, who are we to criticize this move?

You have a good point there bro....I applauded the move of the command centre to Borno so all the generals can put heads together to know the best way/strategy to take in the fight against insurgency. If they don't like the idea,they better do something fast to end Boko Haram terrorism so they can move back to Abuja.....PERIOD!!!

Seriously?

By announcing the creation of two ministries is very tantamount to announcing that the Military command HQ be moved to Maiduguri, which Buhari announced yesterday...if your argument of 'starting work' is anything to go by.

Regardless, it is barely 24 hours bro!

Lemon12:
U see Ambode has started work ...........

But our president is still busy eating the leftover of his inauguration dinner......

What has he done for Nigerians since he was sworn in?

First of, an Employment Standard Act could be created to address irregularities bedevilling the labour market in the form of:
-Shoddy and unethical recruitment processes that is prevalent nowadays
-Workplace harrasment and injustice that some workers face

Also, the labour market is faced with what is called information asymmetry. There are some regions that have more demand for Labour than the others but most employees don't know. So the Ministry can help employees with adequate information on places where their skills are needed.

This will be done through the Ministry requesting for the data base (like Resume and photocopies of credentials) of all Job seekers. They will then act like a potent and fair agent of employment. If employers also needs manpower, all they need do is contact the ministry and they will pick which credential match their taste.

The Ministry can also engage in what I call the Ultimate Graduate Trainee programme for Job seekers that will teach them the needed skill they need to be more valuable and attractive to the employers of the market. This will save most firms the cost incurred in embarking on graduate trainee programs and ipso facto reduce their cost of production. The reduction in their cost will allow them have more capacity to employ more hands.

Their roles are more than the aforementioned. But you should have gotten the idea by now.

VAGABONDS in power!!! Look at him, we know you are a thief hahahaha "ministry of employment" lagos will regret voting for you its just a matter of time your true color will come out
