The Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammadu Dingyadi, has said it’s not the responsibility of his ministry to create jobs for Nigerians.
Dingyadi explained that the role of his ministry is to make
policies that would foster job creations for Nigerians.
He spoke at the annual conference of the Federal Capital
Territory chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) in Abuja
on Thursday.
Dingyadi, however, said the ministry recognizes the
challenges posed by Nigeria’s large youth population.
“You will agree with me that the mandate of the Federal
Ministry of Labour and Employment is never to give employment to people. Our
role is to foster job creation through strategic policies and investments,” he
said.
The minister highlighted the administration’s focus on
economic reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He cited the recently negotiated minimum wage and ongoing
infrastructural and human capital investments as key initiatives.
Also speaking, Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Public Communications, assured Nigerians that despite
the current economic hardships, the Tinubu administration’s reforms are
beginning to yield results.
