Director General of the National Centre for Technological
Management, Dr. Willie Siyanbola, has disclosed that unless both government and
private sectors generate over 2.5 million jobs yearly, about 60 per cent of
Nigerian graduates will remain unemployed.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ sensitisation workshop on
‘Entrepreneurial Attitudinal Status’ in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions at the
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Siyanbola said about five million
Nigerians are either not productively engaged or unemployed; a situation which
he said was sad.
Commending the Federal Government and some state
governments’ intervention programmes to reduce unemployment rate in the country,
the DG stated that the effects of the programme would take some time to be
noticed. According to him, the issue of job creation should not be left in the
hand of the government alone; stressing that job creation was a business for
all. CLICK HERE for more information
