The Federal Government is collaborating with Non-Governmental Organisations to achieve its goal of creating meaningful employment opportunities for Nigerians.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Dingyadi, in Abuja.
The statement expresses the Government’s readiness to also collaborate with the civil society organisations in ensuring creative ideas on how to generate safe jobs most especially for the youth.
It calls for the support of Stakeholders towards combating unemployment in the country.
The statement emphasizes the importance of generating innovative strategies aimed at creating employment opportunities specifically for the unemployed youth.
According to the Minister, the objectives of the Federal Government, along with its initiatives in this domain, are aimed at ensuring that individuals secure employment that they can genuinely claim as their own.
“The focus is on facilitating opportunities for self-establishment, rather than confining efforts to traditional white-collar roles. Furthermore, these jobs are intended to generate significant employment prospects for our youth”
“Our mandate is to create opportunities for jobs and to ensure the youths of the country are gainfully employed through several other means of engagement”
“We can collaborate to work towards creating jobs, very safe jobs for that matter, for our dear young men and women in the country,” he stresses.
According to the statement, the leader of the group, Daniel Black indicates that they will participate in the 63rd session of the United Nations Commission for Social Development, which is scheduled to take place in February 2025 in New York.
