News: 105, 450 Jobs Coming for Youths - Eagle Search and Rescue Foundation

The Eagle Search and Rescue Foundation plans to create 105,450 direct and 500,000 indirect jobs before the year ends.

Its founder, Mr Sunday Bamidele Ajanaku, who is an America-trained pilot, said the non-profit organisation would achieve this feat through its health/transport project in collaboration with 15 reputable insurance companies.

“This venture is billed to reduce crime and criminality in Nigeria and prepare them for resumption of duties in their respective state of resident/communities.”

He urged the Federal Government to support the intervention. “We are aware of the Federal Government proposed payment of N5,000.00 stipends to unemployed youths throughout the country effective 2016. By interpretation, in one year, 100,000 beneficiaries would have taken N6 billion. If the Federal Government can honour our plea to give us 60 per cent of this single year payment, we will commence recruitment and provide gainful employment for the same number of youths availing them with all necessary training and orientations within three months,” he said.

He said the General Overseer, The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Adejare Adeboye, and others have pledged to support the initiatives.
