AREWA AGENDA – The Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment in conjunction with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and German-based developments agency Duetsche Gesellchaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) are hosting a 3-day training workshop for 1000 unemployed graduates on employability in Kano State.
While briefing our Reporter at the venue, the Kano State Comptroller Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mr A. Aliyu said, the reason behind the training is to address the unemployment issues suffered by the teeming youth nationwide.
“As you know most of the social vices that we are facing are due to unemployment and my Ministry have a major role to play in reducing the rate of unemployed graduates across the country” Mr Aliyu affirmed
Answering the question of the outcome of the training on whether the Ministry would serve as a ladder in employing the teeming graduates or provide them with allowances and grants at the end of the training, the State Comptroller confirmed that, the training is solely designed to educate the graduate as the highest contribution his ministry can offer to the unemployed teeming youth.
