Chris Ngige, Nigeria's Minister of Labour and Employment who spoke yesterday at the opening of a two-day workshop on Breaking the Resilience of High Unemployment Rate in the Country in Abuja, revealed that Nigeria’s unemployment rate is expected to reach 33.5% by 2020.Ngige who confirmed that the data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBC) shows that Nigeria's unemployment rate could reach 33.5 percent by 2020, added that the high unemployment rate of 23.1 percent and underemployment of 16.6 percent by the National Bureau Statistics (NBS) of 2019 report is a source to worry.

He said; “It is a worrisome status as the global poverty capital (World Bank, 2018); and concomitant high prevalence rate of crimes and criminalities, including mass murders, insurgency, militancy, armed robbery, kidnappings, drug abuse, among others.

“As if this situation is not scary enough, it is projected that the unemployment rate for this country would reach 33.5 percent by 2020, with consequences that are better imagined, if the trend is not urgently reversed."

Oh Lord save us in this country

I wish it can be so but u guys are not making any effort to bring this statistics into reality........

This statistics arent really true, most unemployed people are hustlers, selling stuffs online, building websites and apps, bloging, doing yahoo , playing bet9ja, doing olosho business and many other nontaxable ,undeclared form of employments.

.

You don't say "ngige said so" when he's quoting NBS.

“As if this situation is not scary enough, it is projected that the unemployment rate for this country would reach 33.5 percent by 2020, with consequences that are better imagined, if the trend is not urgently reversed."

What breaks me is in all that was said, did not see a single sentence where the govt stated what it's doing about it critically.

Because the blog is only interested in negative news just like you.

A labour minister just said 33.5% projection on unemployment in 2020 (next year), yari(zamfara Governor has said we should prepare for reccession same next year... you have tagged it negative news.... please who has better information on such stats than the Labour minister and Governor of a state? We hate bad news does not mean you go unprepared.

The problem with most is, you see something going really wrong but you want to bask on hope while tagging everyother person a hater rather than trying to solve the problem.

Buhari, Ngige

Patriotism don dey tire man....na to dust kpali move to second home....

Hopeless situation. ...the people saddled with the responsibility of rendering any simmer of hope aren't even helping matters with their body languages, alarmisms/utterances and actions.

shut up

.every country has unemployment issue and what actually make Nigerians to always have issues with unemployment is our mentality... Go to school to be relevant not go to school to look for a white collar job... If 15% of that 33% start something, they will later be employers of labour not a salary earner and the rate of unemployment will reduce... Dangote can never be as rich as he is as a civil servant... Wake up to the call and see what you can do for your country not what your country will do for you.

And he is "shining teeth".
