Don’t rely on Government Jobs – Ngige
The federal government of Nigeria has asked unemployed youths to look outside the government jobs in their pursuit of a career.
Dr Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, while representing the FG at a Townhall Meeting on Popularisation of blue/green collar jobs among graduates of tertiary institutions in Nigeria, which was held in Benin, Edo State added that there are other sustainable ventures outside government jobs that can be embraced by the unemployed.
He said the richest youths in the world are not working for the government, but those involved in creative entrepreneurship.
“The minister urged Nigerian youths to invest their talent in other job sectors, as the richest youth of the world, aged between 21 and 31 years, are not employees of government but smart entrepreneurs who distinguished themselves in creative skills in various areas,” Charles Akpan, spokesman of the ministry quoted the minister as saying.
