The Deputy
Director, Information & Public Relations, National Directorate of
Employment (NDE), Edmund Onwuliri, said the development is a part of the
government quest to keep a robust data base for unemployed persons and provide
jobs.
The
registration, according to him, is in compliance with the third mandate of the
NDE which requires it “to obtain and maintain a data bank on employment and
vacancies in the country with a view to acting as a clearing house to link job
seekers with vacancies in collaboration with other government agencies.”
Onwuliri said
the framework for the online registration, being handled by the Directorate has
been completed and ready for lunch; adding that the NDE has also completed the
framework for the electronic registration of unemployed persons in Nigeria.
He said: “The
online portal which goes live on Wednesday April 5, 2017, is designed to
capture the relevant details of any unemployed person. It will equally serve as
a job exchange portal that will link job seekers and employers.
“There will be
a practical demonstration of the workings of the portal at the NDE stand at the
on-going 28th edition of the Enugu International Trade on Thursday April 6,
2017. However, the portal can be accessed by logging on to www.jobsforall.ng.
The Directorate sees this initiative as a bold step towards deepening the
effectiveness of its employment creation strategies and a critical input into
the process of designing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes
and schemes.”
The portal
will serve as a meeting point for job seekers and employers to reduce the
cumbersome process of recruitment among employers of skilled labour in the
private and public sectors.
