Govt empowers 430 graduates with equipment, cash

Keeping up with its promise to create
jobs for unemployed Nigerians, the
Federal Government, through the
National Directorate of Employment
(NDE), has empowered 430 persons
across the country through the
disbursement of equipment and cash.
Minister of Labour and Employment,
Senator Chris Ngige disclosed this
recently at the resettlement of
graduates of vocational skills
development programme of NDE in
Awka, Anambra state.
The Minister further revealed that in
the next two months, over 2,800 new
businesses would have been generated
across the country under the second
phase of the scheme, involving persons
already trained in vocational skills such
as hair dressing, dress making,
wielding, computer repairs, brick laying
etc, who will later be empowered with
relevant starter packs to commence
small scale businesses.
Ngige added that NDE in the last one
month has recruited about 1,850
persons nationwide under the
Community Based Training Scheme
(CBTS), who would be later resettled to
commence small scale businesses in the
rural communities across the country.
“Similarly, 370 newly trained
agricultural entrepreneurs under the
NDE Commercial Farmers Training
Project (CFTP) have received soft loans
amounting to N37 million to start agro
businesses in all the 36 states and FCT.
“In our efforts to provide stop-gap-job
opportunities, NDE under the Graduate
Coaching Scheme (GCS) has engaged
about 518 unemployed graduates with
qualifications in education who are
currently serving as coaches/instructors
in designed centres throughout the
federation”, he noted.
