James Ocholi, the minister of state for labour and employment, has revealed that the lack of a database with a comprehensive list of employed and unemployed Nigerians is affecting the process of paying the N5000 stipend the government is planning to pay unemployed youths.

One of the campaign promises of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is to pay unemployed youths in the country and this has also been reiterated by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Vanguard reports that Ocholi said in Abuja on Wednesday, January 20, that the government was enlisting the help of experts who were already working on compiling the list of unemployed. He added that the government also planned to provide jobs to the unemployed graduates.
“Before we got to where we are, there was no data anywhere. There is no data of the unemployed. In fact there is no data of the employed. It is a bad situation.”

“As I talk with you, there are experts working on the software on the various things which we have discussed with them on how to capture the details of the unemployed and the employed. And for those who are employed, there are many who are in wrong places; there are many who are in jobs and they are not enjoying the job and who want to have a job better than what they are doing.

“There is a firm that we have sourced for, working with the National Directorate of Employment, (NDE) right now. NDE has done a pilot scheme in Bwari and they have an office in Lobito crescent right now working in preparatory for a mega scale on job proffer.

“What it takes to get that data ready is part of our work. Our work does not begin when the data comes out because the data itself does not employ people.”

According to Leadership, the government was working on a Teacher Conversion Programme that will help identify graduates with specialisations that can make them secondary school teachers.

He said the government had also built skill centres across the country and was also working on developing the existing ones.

“So we have decided to do a memo to the SGF for Mr. President to galvanize all such centres and bring them to one fold. Then we can do a planning on how many each centre can take for the next three months. We will look at what is the nature of the skill that can be acquired within the period of time, what do we do to sustain those people that will acquire the skill and while acquire those skills what stipends can be paid to them to keep them in the training so that while being trained you earn something. That will bridge the gap between now and when they open their shop and begin to employ labour”.

Meanwhile, the federal government revealed that only hard working Nigerians who are unemployed would be paid the N5,000 stipend promised by the APC.

Great action, things are hard, budget has not been passed.
Oil prices are down and we have not jailed anyone yet for corruption.

march will make it one year since a person won election , and the only new developments are a wayo budget, the dasukigate and chase, i wonder when they will even lay the foundation of their first refinery and then build their imaginative 4 refineries. Funny enough the zombies are all focused on the media trials while the economy goes to the dogs, oil fell below 30$ yesterday and this goat called buhari is investing more on oil exploration , a silly lowlife president who cant present a common budget and used 6 months to appoint his angels, will take 200 years to build 1 km of roads. by the end of his tenure Nigerians wont be asking about dasuki or metuh but what you achieved

keep chasing dasuki, keep fighting PDP, let lassa fever wipe out Nigeria and the economy collapse, as long as your done with your revenge the country does not matter to you cause at your age you have nothing to live for again.

"The lack of a database with a comprehensive list of employed and unemployed Nigerians is affecting the process of paying the N5000 stipend the government is planning to pay unemployed youths"

All thanks to GEJ, Buhary and APC should immediately fast-track the National Identity Smart Card completion, Nigerians expect the payment latest by Q2 otherwise...



APC, Party of professional liars and career fraudsters.

Nigeria has fertile land, what is the FG waiting for?
The north has a lot of uncultivated fertile land.

## Relocate all Nigerian unemployed graduate down to the north.


Nigeria must be great.

another excuse. we are watching

.

I love this govt xoxo, they have already started giving u excuses why they won't pay u in their first and subsequent years ahead. I'm quite sure nobody is waiting on their 5k anyway

IN NIGERIA, PROMISES MADE BY POLITICIANS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN OR SCATTERED OR SHREDDED IN PIECES USING SRUPID EXCUSES.

Integrity is zero.
Honesty is F9.
Character is satanic.
Truth is nonexistent.
Trust is to your own peril.

From "Promise of Change" to " Change of Promise"

Were you at sleep when you were making those promises

Ogbeni !!! If Una No Say Una No Go Gve Us Dis Money , Kuku Tell Us Na. . No Dey Give Us Unnecesaary OT abeg

We know na! Why make a news from it?

[size=13pt]Did the government ever say they will pay unemployed youths?[/size]

Have they finished paying the 'poorest and most vulnerable' (whatever that means) which they actually promised to pay?

Now u know. Promise breakers

They didn't remember we have no database b4 election? we know it's a scam initially.... only your gullible supporters believed.

I'm sorry but this government is the worst so far, almost a year now, many promises broken.... economic fall, non-payment of salary, no infrastructural development,no job, company are sacking and cutting costs, Naira has lost its value, business is difficult..... and they call it CHANGE


They are right tho... promise of change = change of promise

Lollllllllllllllll!!!!!

Scammers!!!!

We go collect am by fire by force.....I don dey plan for the monthly 5k since last year...

I refused to be disappointed!

APC Scam party

ok

its 8 months since this govt came into power. what happened to the slogan " we would hit the ground running, as soon as we come into power"

they have come into power - yes

they have hit the ground -yes

have they started running- no

what have they being doing instead- giving excuses one after another.

while blaming the previous govt

am sure they would blame PDP for this too

Before nko?

To be sincere, I don't think it will be easy to effectively manage the scheme. Where can we get the database of unemployed graduates? Who do we classified as employed? Can we say that a graduate earning N15,000 or even less is employed? If someone is unemployed today, do we have a system in place that will automatically change the person's status in the database immediately he gets a job? How often will the database(if any) be updated? When will a graduate be regarded as unemployed if he loses his job? Immediately or after a specified number of months? The questions to be answered are endless.
In my opinion, payment of N5,000 will not achieve its intended purpose.

What sort of rubbish is that!!!

You must give dat 5k o..If not, then get ready for massive protests!

When una dey make promises upon promises why una no first do research?Yeye.

Oh?

We don entr 1 chance! I voted 1 chance government
