The Federal Government plan to create jobs for the unemployed in the country has brought about a major partnership between Ministry of Labour and Productivity and the Zinox Group, an indigenous ICT firm, to build a database of the unemployed in the 774 Local Government Councils that spread across the Country.
Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr. Chris Ngige,pinpointed the fact that the ministry does not have credible database of unemployed youths.The minister gave an assurance that the ministry would roll out its programme on employment generation once the 2016 budget was passed
The Chairman, Zinox Group, Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh,explained that Zinox was looking forward to collaborating with the ministry to build a national database where the unemployed in the 774 LGs could register their profiles for easy access to employers.
Ekeh, who led the organisation’s management team on a courtesy visit to the ministry, added that the platform would create avenues for qualified graduates to be located for employment irrespective of where they reside.
