    FG seeks collaboration on job creation as Adamimogo FM berths in Ibadan

    President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Federal Government-led administration has urged Nigerians, particularly religious leaders, to join hands with government to eradicate poverty and create employment for teeming youths of the country.

    The government said there is need for informal sector operators to get involved in job creation because government alone cannot tackle unemployment across the nation.

    Speaking in Ibadan at the inauguration and dedication of the Adamimogo House, which housed the Adamimogo 105.1 FM, The Light Hotel and Event Centre, established by Prophet Sam Olu Alo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Barr. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha said the cleric has demonstrated though spiritual matters are very important, physical matter must be added to it.

    Emphasising importance of private sector in job creation, the Minister said: “We have seen one of, someone who is into private practice and doing this, and that is why I have come to throw my weight and support to him to encourage people.

    “Government cannot do it alone, we are calling on private sector to embark on this kind of thing. The truth of the matter is that, even when talking about salary and  paid jobs, people need to work, they have to be skilled.

    “With the event centre, the guest house and the Radio station, a lot of people would be employed. So, as a person sitting on the office of Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment I am involved and excited that he is adding to my mandate of ensuring that we create employment for our people and reduce poverty.

    “Under the ministry of labour and employment,  skills and we have offices in 36 states including FCT where the people are going to be trained and empowered and not just for training sake, we look at what is viable so that , people trained will not go back to poverty, they will be really employed and empowered.

    “Testimonies abound about people he has empowered not just in Ibadan but also in Ekiti, Akure, Abeokuta Lagos and other parts of Nigeria as well as outside the country. What again can I say than to say kudos and he should keep doing what he has been doing and it is worthy of emulation by his colleagues.”

    Alo urged government to always encourage young people into entrepreneurship, trades vocations and with various skilled acquired with incentives that will make such attractive to them and remain on the job.

    The cleric, who said he was happy because God is using his life to lift others most especially at this time when the country is sick economically, urged Nigerians to lift up others with those thing God has blessed them with.

    “I want to our government to always try to learn from other countries. Like in Turkey, I was there recently. It was gathered that, their youths also are not ready to learn trades and vocations but the government there did some things which I witnessed to encourage the youths of the country.

    Describing youths as brave and intelligent, he called on the government to introduce some trades and vocations including farming and ensure they are buying the products from them to encourage them.
