Hello, my name is Jack Sparrow. I'm a 50 year old self-employed Pirate from the Caribbean.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen.
Chris Ngige, said on Monday that the Federal
Government had received 800,000
applications for the 500,000 jobs promised
the youth.
Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige Speaking at the 5th
Town Hall Meeting organised by the Federal
Ministry of Information in Enugu on Monday,
Ngige advised the people of the South East
to explore the opportunity by registering on
the web portal.
He said that the jobs were mainly for
teaching and skills acquisition as promised
by the APC government.
He said that the administration had a good
agenda for the unemployed youths
irrespective of the current challenges facing
it.
The minister said that 100,000 out of the
500,000 tobe employed would be trained as
agricultural extension workers and deployed
to rural areas to assist the farmers with
improved method of farming through the
partnership of the ministry of agriculture.
“I want our graduates to register so that they
will not say that they are marginalised when
people that registered are selected,” he said.
He urged the governors and local
government chairmen in the South East to
assist their youths to print the forms as
many expressed difficulty in accessing the
portal.
Ngige regretted that youths neglected skills
acquisition to chase white collar jobs that
were not in existence, adding that most
skilled jobs were being done by Ghanaians
and people from other neighboring countries.
“If our youths had acquired skills, they would
be self employed and reliant and shun Boko
Haram, IPOB and Avengers,” the minister
said.
He described Igbo youths as enterprising
and hardworkingand could survive without
depending on the government but had
neglected their values.
The minister explained that the current
economic hardship the country faced was
because the past government neglected
agriculture and failed to savefor the rainy
day.
He admonished the Igbo to come out of the
“persecutionsyndrome,’’ saying that the APC-
led government was notmarginalising any
section of the country.
