The Federal Government has said that it is committed to creating an enabling environment for the creation of 21 million full time jobs and lifting 35 million people out of poverty by 2025. The government had been grappling with the growing unemployment rate which seemed to defy it’s previous commitment to creating jobs for jobless Nigerians.
A statement signed by the Head of Press and Public Relations at the ministry, Mr. Olajide Oshundun quoted Ngige as having said that the high rate of unemployment in the country could not be ignored as it was a major contributing factor to the increased insurgencies, agitations and other criminal activities manifesting in different parts of the country.
Ngige hoped that the workshop would help to navigate the paths for responsive actions that would bring about job creation.
