Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola yesterday commissioned a job centre for unemployed youths.
He said the centre located along Gbongan road in Osogbo, the state capital, will support job seekers in various ways.
At the commissioning, the governor, in his speech, reiterated the commitment of his administration to reduce the menace of unemployment to a barest minimum.
According to him, the rationale behind the establishment of the centre, tagged Osun Job Centre, was to make job seekers more employable and better placed for possible opportunities.
He said a job seeker will be made to understand what it takes to fit into a desired job better through requisite training and comprehensive engagement of applicants on the dynamism of labour market.
The governor, therefore, enjoined job seekers to develop their God-given skills and not to rely on academic qualifications alone to secure jobs.
He said the centre would be committed to training of applicants on how to perfectly package their qualifications and skills as well as connect them with different job opportunities.
Former Commissioner for Human Resources and Capacity-Building Mrs. Mobolaji Akande, who doubles as a chief consultant to government on the project, described the idea of the centre as unprecedented.
She explained that Osun was the first state to establish such a centre, adding that the Aregbesola administration was “initiating programmes that would outlive his administration”. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
