The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has said the President Muhammadu Buhari government is working hard to end youth unemployment.

He said the government had set up training programmes to ensure that the youths were gainfully engaged in skill acquisitions and become employers of labour.

He said before long unemployment in the country would become history, adding that unemployed youths should register with the National Directorate of Employment for various training programmes.

Ngige stated this at Idemili South Local Government Secretariat, Ojoto, during the passing out of 500 youths in the area who were trained in cosmetology by the NDE.

The beneficiaries, our correspondent learnt, were sponsored by the minister.

Ngige said the Buhari government was desirous to provide skilled jobs to the youths “so that they will not only provide employment for themselves but become employers of labour.”

He said the beneficiaries would be provided with funds to enable them to start their own business.

He enjoined them to form cooperatives to strengthen their business, adding that the cost of engaging in cooperatives would be reduced for them.

Lies as usual

Do they want to re-employ quarter of the millions of people who lost their jobs and source of livelihood in this wretched administration or are they just being plain stupid?
Anyways, all reasonable Nigerians know that Ngige's opinion is just like the first "0" in "00.2357"; its useless and we can ABSOLUTELY do without it.. Therefore, I want to use this opportunity to wish you all happy #back2daura come febuary 2019.. Peace. Out.

APC/Buhari Farewell Campaign of incompetence is over due .
Bubu must pack to sudan

oloriburuku, Youth unemployment that you didn't end in 4 years? Unemployment that has gone high in the last 4 years?

That's what you want to improve ONLY when reelected?

If you have been providing jobs in the last 4 years (Not 2 years Npower contract job), you won't need to tell Nigerians and youths before you are returned to power.

But a lot of suffering and smiling people will still vote for you though, we've got many here on Nairaland.
