The Federal Government will soon forward Job Bill to the National Assembly for enactment into law.
This was one of the decisions reached at the second meeting of the Presidential Jobs Board presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Olusegun Aganga, briefed State House correspondents of the meeting’s outcome.
Aganga said the decision to send a bill to the National Assembly on job creation was to ensure that there are policies backing up any decision taken by the government on the matter.
He said, “Another area of discussion is to make sure that whatever we decide, we will back them with policies and with a bill that is going to the National Assembly.
“Today, we deliberated on the proposals for the new jobs policies and Jobs Bill that will be taken to the National Assembly, which has about 10 or 15 different sections.
“We had very rich contributions from members, public and private sector and we will be sending that to members, we will consult widely but we hope to have Job Act in place definitely before the end of this administration.”
The minister added that the council also decided to create job centres in all state capitals across the country.
He said the centres would serve as one-stop shops for job seekers nationwide. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
