Edo State Governor Calls for Establishment of Job Centers

The Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has called for the revival of job centres, which will provide reliable data on the number of unemployed youths and ensure appropriate job placement for them across the country.

He urged the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, to ensure that each local government area had a job centre for vocational skills training to improve the competence of skilled and semi-skilled workers.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the governor made this call during a courtesy visit recently.

He stated that the purpose of the visit was to reflect on salient issues that were germane to the welfare of the citizens of the country.

Oshiomhole affirmed that the administration of President Muhmmadu Buhari had made it clear that the primary purpose of governance was the welfare of the people and the only way to deliver public welfare was to pay attention to job creation.
