1 min read
The Nigeria Federal Government through the Deputy Director, Information & Public Relations, National Directorate of Employment (NDE), Edmund Onwuliri, has announced to start online registration of unemployed citizens in the country.
Mr. Edmund Onwuliri disclosed in a statement that the development is a part of the government quest to keep a robust data base for unemployed persons and provide jobs. According to him, this development is in accordance with the third mandate of the NDE which requires it “to obtain and maintain a data bank on employment and vacancies in the country with a view to acting as a clearing house to link job seekers with vacancies in collaboration with other government agencies.”
Mr. Edmund Onwuliri said
“The online portal which goes live on Wednesday April 5, 2017, is designed to capture the relevant details of any unemployed person. It will equally serve as a job exchange portal that will link job seekers and employers.“There will be a practical demonstration of the workings of the portal at the NDE stand at the on-going 28th edition of the Enugu International Trade on Thursday April 6, 2017. However, the portal can be accessed by logging on to www.jobsforall.ng. The Directorate sees this initiative as a bold step towards deepening the effectiveness of its employment creation strategies and a critical input into the process of designing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes and schemes.” - he added.
To this, Nigerians will have a better avenue to reach out to employers easily and electronically thereby, reducing hike in recruitment among employers of skilled labour in the private and public sectors.
