Spokesman for Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mr. Olowookere Samuel, has refuted on behalf of his Minister, Senator Chris Ngige that the Ministry has not requested submission of curriculum vitae of unemployed youths across the country for the purpose of being given employment contrary to what an online medium is making the nation to believe.
Mr. Olowookere in a statement entitled: ‘RE: Curriculum Vitae (CV) collection by Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment’ advised the public to disregard this false directive as it did not emanate from Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.
The spokesman added that “In view of the apprehension the false information has generated, it is pertinent to point out that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to the creation of decent employment opportunities for teeming unemployed Nigerians and has perfected plans for massive job creation through well thought-out programmes such as Graduate Teachers Conversion Programme, Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS), Vocational Skills Acquisition and Upgrading, Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) for the vulnerable persons including market women.
He further said that the public will be informed in due course when any of these programmes/schemes are being rolled out.
Olowookere further warned the public to disregard the said online publication “as any person who does otherwise does so at his or her own risk especially when some of the websites have been requesting applicants to pay what they dubbed “application fees”.
