Nigeria generated nearly half a million job in the first quarter of 2015, the National Bureau of Statistics said Thursday in its new report.

The report said between January and March, 469,070 jobs were created in all sectors of the economy.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan was office during the period covered by the report.

The former government triggered controversy after it claimed to have created 1.2 million jobs in 2013.

Many Nigerians rejected that claim, citing the scale of poverty and unemployment in the country.
Critics challenged the government to provide details of new jobs, and to explain why the huge number rate of employment had an insignificant impact on the job market.

In May, the bureau of statistics announced a revised protocol for calculating unemployment rate, concluding that the percentage of unemployed Nigerians stood at about six per cent, against the previous 23.9 per cent.

The new figure was also widely rejected.

The National Bureau of Statistics said its assessment shows 469,070 jobs were created in the economy during the first quarter, with the informal sector yielding 332,403 new jobs as the most active.

Total jobs created for the period, the report said, increased by 99,585 (about 26.95%) over 369,485 jobs in the 4th quarter of 2014.

And who were offered the jobs?... The poor masses or the already rich elite?

The Goodluck Jonathan administration through Youwin, Sure P and other MDG portfolios created over 1.2 million jobs. The records are there.

GEJ created jobs because he wanted to get reelected as the President of Otuoke. What a clueless way of doing things after spending SIX years . God help our leaders !!!

Not to validate GEJ but a friend got a nice job at NIGCOMSAT, another at CBN and my cousin at NEPAD Nigeria.

Unfortunate people (NBS)

Yet he was still booted out and dubbed "Mr Clueless". I wonder the kind of miracle that Buhari, the supposed clueless one will perform to remain relevant in this present day difficult political terrain of Nigeria.

Using Chief Zebrudaya's words "fa fa fa fao". The NBS must be high on cheap drugs. Saying jobs where created in his sphere of the economy is dealing in big time abstracts and thus amounts to a big fat lie.

They should make available the sphere in which this so called jobs where created, they should also tell which part of the sector employed this number or persons and that number of persons. All this will provide room for verification.

They shouldn't toy with our not so common sense and think we all will swallow abstracts. The Nigerian economic sector isn't a church where pastors use abstracts to deceive the foolish multitude.
