Minister of Labour and Employment - With the high rate of unemployment in the country and the desperation of many graduates to gain employment, the Minister of Labour and Employment has warned job seekers of dubious online recruitment platforms.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige has dissociated himself from an online publication requesting unemployed Nigerian youths to submit application for employment at his ministry and its zonal offices nationwide.
A statement by the ministry’s spokesperson Olowookere Samuel advised the public to disregard the false directive as it did not emanate from the federal government through the labour ministry.
"In view of the apprehension the above false information has generated it is pertinent to point out that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to the creation of decent employment opportunities for teeming unemployed Nigerians and has perfected plans for massive job creation through well thought out programmes such as Graduate Teachers Conversion Programme, Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS), Vocational Skills Acquisition and Upgrading, Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) for the vulnerable persons including market women,” the statement read in part.
The statement further said that the public will be informed soon when any of this programmes/scheme is being rolled out.
