FG to Commence Registration of Unemployed Nigerians Nationwide

The Federal Government is making concrete
preparations towards the payment of monthly
allowances to unemployed Nigerians to ease their
economic status.

The decision came amid the slow pace by the All
Progressives Congress-led government to fulfill its
campaign promise of paying unemployed graduates
N5,000 as social security stipend.
The acting Director General of the National Directorate
of Employment (NDE), Mr. Olakunle Obayan, stated
this during the official handover by the former
Director General, Alhaji Abubakar Mohammed.
Speaking on the current template to address the
challenges of unemployment in the country, Obayan
said:
"Actually some of them (projects) are brand new
and they are coming up in 2016. We are going to
tenaciously pursue the employment generation
activities of NDE, and we are going to expand their
scope.

"This new schemes when they come on board, are
schemes such that they are going to take care of the
social security issues and something that will need
majority of the people to get something doing."

An official date is yet to be announcement for the
commencement of the registration process.
