The International Labour Organisation has warned that millions in Nigeria and other Sub-Saharan countries face the dire risk of high unemployment in 2023.
The ILO also said that there has also been a recent increase in the proportion of countries in Africa at high risk of debt distress.
The report read partly, “Positive growth in 2022 was supported by the particularly strong performance of hydrocarbon exporters such as Nigeria and Angola, thanks to higher prices and increased output. “There are widespread warnings that current monetary tightening to fight inflation could overshoot, potentially leading to high levels of unemployment.”
According to the report, indicators of total working hours and employment suggest that a relatively quick labour market recovery took place in 2021.All rights reserved.
