THE International Organisation of the United Nations’ Volunteers has commended the Federal Government of Nigeria for its continued efforts at combating the menace of unemployment in the country through the National Directorate of Employment (NDE).

The organisation made the commendation in Abuja recently when it joined the international community to commemorate the World Day of Social Justice.

The body noted that social justice has a strong like to job opportunities for the citizens among other things. It, therefore, canvassed that governments, especially in Nigeria, must prioritise policies that engender job provision for the teeming unemployed persons, especially the youths in the country.

In a statement by the organisation’s Director, Volunteer Affairs, Ambassador Luke Jacob, it said, “World Day of Social Justice is an International day recognising the need to promote social justice, which includes efforts to tackle issues such as poverty, economic exclusion, gender inequality, unemployment, human rights and social protections.

“The United Nations and its affiliates like the International Organisation of UN Volunteers (IOUNV) set aside this day to make statements on the importance of Social Justice and present plans for greater Social justice by tackling poverty, social and economic exclusion and unemployment.

“It is on this premise that we want to thank the Nigerian government through the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) that have been carrying out a lot of activities or programmes which are in tandem with the objectives of the UN being observed on the World Day of Social Justice.”

The statement further said, “The National Directorate of Employment by its statutory mandate introduced four (4) major areas of intervention towards mass job creation to combat unemployment in Nigeria which includes vocational development, entrepreneurship development, agricultural skills training and public works programme.

“We, therefore, wish to commend the Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment, Mallam Abubakar Nuhu Fikpo, for his numerous contributions and sustenance of the progress made by the agency (NDE) in tackling and combating poverty and social inequality in Nigeria by passing a vote of confidence on him to continue his good works.

“However, we are urging the agency and Nigeria government to do more in brining succour to Nigerians in the many challenges they are facing which we believe can be achieved and surmounted through the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda of President Bola Tinubu.”
