Federal Government will soon unveil a new plan that will help to create about one million fresh jobs annually.
The Special Adviser to the President on Job Creation, Obi Adim, who disclosed this during a chat with journalists in Abuja on Friday, said the initiative would address the country’s high unemployment rate in a pragmatic way.
Nigeria’s unemployment rate, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, currently stands at 23.9 per cent.
Adim, who addressed journalists in company with the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation, Josephine Washima, said already the initiative, Integrated Youth Development Programme, had received a lot of buy-in from stakeholders, adding the full details of the programme would be released before the end of next month.
