The
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has denied an online
report calling for the submission of Curriculum Vitae (CV) by unemployed
youths to the ministry.
The
minister said this on Monday in Abuja in a statement signed by the
Deputy Director of Press in the Ministry, Samuel Olowookere.
According
to him, the attention of the minister had been drawn to the online
publication requesting unemployed Nigerian youths to submit application
for employment in the ministry.
The
statement noted that the online publication requested unemployed
Nigerian youths to submit the CVs at the Federal Ministry of Labour and
Employment Headquarters and its Zonal offices nationwide.
“The
general public is hereby advised to disregard this false directive as
it did not emanate from the Federal Government through the Federal
Ministry of Labour and Employment.
“In
view of the apprehension the above false information has generated, it
is pertinent to point out that the present administration is committed
to the creation of decent employment opportunities for the teeming
unemployed Nigerians.
“It
has perfected plans for massive job creation through well thought out
programmes such as Graduate Teachers Conversion Programme and Graduate
Internship Scheme (GIS), among others.”
The
statement said that the general public would be informed in due course
when any of these programmes/scheme would be rolled out.
