The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah Monday said the federal government had evolved pragmatic strategies that will generate about 20 million jobs from four key sectors of the Nigerian economy “within the tenure of the next level”.
Enelamah added that his ministry had already charged the fund to come up with revolutionary multi-faceted job wealth creation strategies that would lead to a lasting solution to hydra-headed problem of unemployment in the country. “From the report I have received, the ITF has been able to propose pragmatic strategies that within tenure of the next level, will generate about 20 million jobs from four key sectors of the Nigerian economy.
Meanwhile, Director General/Chief Executive, ITF, Mr. Joseph Ari, lamented that unemployment had resulted in “needless incidences of violence, criminality and social vices perpetrated by persons that ordinarily should be contributing significantly to the development of our dear nation.” He added that over 80 per cent of the number are currently earning sustainable livelihoods in either paid employment or are successful entrepreneurs who are employing others.
They said this in the 1st term and we lost 12m jobs, hope its not an indication to lose another 12m jobs
Hope this is not job loss ?
A 'target' can be unachieved, achieved or overachieved. APC must not play politics with employment of our teeming youths
