Federal Government says it will generate about 20 million jobs from four key sectors of the Nigerian economy.
The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah said this at a stakeholders meeting on strategies for job creation by the federal government, organized by Industrial Training Fund ITF in Abuja.
He noted that it further strengthened the drive to curtail the country’s rising unemployment by creating jobs and providing employable skills for the teeming youths, through the Industrial Training Fund ITF.
Enelamah who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Edet Sunday said his ministry had already charged the fund to come up with revolutionary multi-faceted job wealth creation strategies that would lead to a lasting solution to the problem of unemployment in Nigeria.
Earlier, the Director General ITF, Joseph Ari, lamented that unemployment had resulted in “needless incidences of violence, criminality and social vices perpetrated by persons that ordinarily should be contributing significantly to the development of our dear nation.
