The Federal Government is collaborating with the Republic of Korea to address unemployment, especially among the youth and women in the country.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, said this while receiving the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea in Nigeria, Kim Young-Chae in Abuja.
Ngige said the era of white collar jobs was no more, that blue collar jobs were now being created, especially in the technical field and agriculture.
He urged the Republic of Korea to assist Nigeria in agriculture, which has enormous capacity to boost the foreign exchange base of the country.
Ngige said that the collaboration would explore opportunities in the agriculture sector and help in jobs creation and ease off the unemployment pressure in the country, especially among the youth and women.
Earlier, Kim Young-Chae expressed his intention to increase Trade and Investment of Republic of Korea in Nigeria.
