The Federal Government has said all is set for the commencement of
online registration of unemployed
persons in the country on Wednesday
April 5th 2017.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Deputy Director,
Information & Public Relations, National Directorate of Employment
(NDE), Edmund Onwuliri on Monday.
.
According to him, the
development was part of the federal government’s plan to develop and
maintain a robust database of unemployed persons and for job provision.
He explained that the registration was in compliance with the third
mandate of the NDE which required 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.”
He said: “The online portal which goes live on Wednesday April 5,
2017, 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 online 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.”
