The Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) said yesterday that militancy, kidnapping and other social vices in the country would drastically reduce if the federal and the sub-national governments create sustainable jobs for the citizens.
This comes after the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, said President Bola Tinubu is committed to fulfilling his administration’s promise to build a Nigeria where members of the workforce could attain their full potential.
Speaking at the official launch of the Labor Employment and Empowerment Program in Abuja, the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said employment remained the best way to cope with social crisis in the country.
Ajaero further highlighted that the national initiative is designed to expand employment opportunities, equip Nigerians with critical skills, and drive economic empowerment through innovation and technology, stressing that people who are meaningfully engaged would not think of indulging in social vices.
