The Federal Government will
commence the on-line registration of unemployed persons in the country today being Wednesday. According to the Deputy Director,
Information & Public Relations, National Directorate of Employment (NDE),
Edmund Onwuliri, the development is a part of the government quest to keep a
robust data base for unemployed persons and provide jobs.
The registration, according to
him, is in compliance with the third mandate of the NDE which requires it “to
obtain and maintain a data bank on employment and vacancies in the country with
a view to acting as a clearing house to link job seekers with vacancies in
collaboration with other government agencies.”
Onwuliri said the framework for
the on-line registration, being handled by the Directorate has been completed
and ready for lunch; adding that the NDE has also completed the framework for
the electronic registration of unemployed persons in Nigeria.
He said: “The on-line portal which
goes live on Wednesday April 5, 2017, which is today, is designed to capture the relevant details
of any unemployed person. It will equally serve as a job exchange portal that
will link job seekers and employers.
“There will be a practical
demonstration of the workings of the portal at the NDE stand at the on-going
28th edition of the Enugu International Trade on Thursday April 6, 2017.
However, the portal can be accessed by logging on to www.jobsforall.ng. The
Directorate sees this initiative as a bold step towards deepening the
effectiveness of its employment creation strategies and a critical input into
the process of designing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of
programmes and schemes.”
The on-line portal will also serve
as a meeting point for job seekers and employers thereby reducing the
cumbersome process of recruitment among employers of skilled labour in the
private and public sectors.
