Registration Of Unemployed Nigerians
The federal government of Nigeria will today open a portal www.jobsforall.ng for the registration of unemployed Nigerians.
This disclosure which was made by the Deputy Director, Information & Public Relations, National Directorate of Employment, NDE, Edmund Onwuliri, in Abuja. "The portal is aimed at bringing together employers and the unemployed under one platform, he said"
A good initiative if you ask me under normal circumstances. Am not sure the government is aware of the proliferation of these types of agencies in the private sector. for instance; we have platforms like jobberman.com, jiji.com, efirintin.com etc in the private sector who are catering for such need, why make them run out of business? The reason for the private sector is for things like these to stay private. I don't see how the private sector will benefit from the government joining these scheme. It might be another form of strong harming the private sector to provide jobs when there are not available in a form of tax incentives.
On the other hand, these agencies in the private sector provide nothing but scam jobs. Anybody can go to their platform and say he is an employer seeking for unemployed A&B and his advert will be placed on such site, without finding out if the source is real or not. It has become a big business these days in Nigeria to scam the unemployed desperately seeking for work.
Fresh graduates are always the pawns in these types of job scams, where they are required to pay a certain amount of money before jobs they know nothing about will be allocated to them.
Therefore, the coming of government into the sector might not be as bad as first thought. It might just be the stepping stone for President Buhari to kick start his promise to the average Nigerian of employment when he gets to office.
It remains to be seen what sector of the economy will be favored for these jobs and what would be the minimum pay structure before an employer will be allowed to use the platform. it also remains to be seen, the skill level required for such platform is it skilled, semi-skilled or unskilled labor that would be cared for or just anybody.
