The job portal promised by the
Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, is finally ready.
The portal, according to a
statement issued on Wednesday, in Abeokuta by the Chief Press Secretary, Kunle
Somorin, would register, on a continuous basis, unemployed youths in the State
with a view to providing them jobs suitable for their trade and academic
qualifications.
He gave the site address as
http://www.iseya.ng/public/.
“The Government of Ogun State are
partnering with the public-private sector oriented to expand thr job space for
our teeming young men and women and those who have special talents,” the
statement quoted the Governor as saying.
“It is a major pillar of our
quality governance model. We are going to have an inclusive government that
will utilise valuable potentails that abound in the State and that’s why we are
involving the private sector.
“All graduates and those with
vocational training across the State will give their information and we will
endeavour to match them with potential employers, not only within the civil
service but also with the private sector, with whom we are partnering.
“To ensure that the citizens and
residents of the states are not short-changed we will send a local content bill
for legislative action, such that investors will first look inward to
availability of workers in Ogun State and make our youths their primary
catchment area when they site their companies here”.
The Governor said his Government
plans certain enablers as corollary to his mission to build our future together
through “qualitative governance, education, healthcare, infrastructural
development, digitization and agriculture “.
“Besides linking our graduates
with industrialists and Government agencies, we plan to engage 10,000 farmers
to be supported for mechanised farming with attendant value chain benefits to
make agribusiness bedrock of his administration’s plan to lift people out of
poverty.
“Some are also to be trained as
DJ, artistes, dramatists, musicians and in the creative arts and
entrepreneurship”, the statement added.
Already, Governor Abiodun said
10,000 youths will be supported to plant cassava, maize and rice – crops in
which the state is a leading producer.
“Each farmer will get a parcel of
land and be supported with clearing, seedlings, extension and off takers
services to ensure profitability of their ventures,” the statement concluded.
