Tolu Ogunlesi, a media aide to President Muhamamdu Buhari has reacted to the story published by the Sun newspaper which claimed that a total of 25. 6 million applications passed through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) recruitment portal before it formally closed Tuesday.

According to the paper, a source familiar with the recruitment process said it further showed the picture of the magnitude of the country’s unemployment challenge.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) revealed that Nigeria’s unemployment in the third quarter of 2018 (Q3,2018), rose from 18.8 percent in Q3 2017 to 23.1 percent in the third quarter of 2018.
