The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige has advised unemployed Nigerians to register at the online job portal of the Social Intervention Scheme of the Federal Government.
The Minister made the call in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Deputy Director of Press in the ministry, Mr Samuel Olowookere following the inauguration of the National Directorate of Employment, NDE's School-to-Work Programme in Calabar, Cross River State.
He explained that to benefit from the program, the unemployed must register at the online job portal, N-Power.ng.org
"You must register to benefit from the Social Intervention Scheme. Unfortunately, as we speak, by last week, the portal has only recorded about 1.2 million persons.
"We expect more persons to have been registered in the portal before our screening exercise; the registration on the portal is Npower.ng.org. The portal closes Aug. 31, which is just few days away.
"For those who are not computer literate, we advise state governments to encourage them by using local government chairmen to move into local government areas to register the unemployed persons there.
"So that they can qualify to be considered for the scheme. Each state of the federation is expected to recruit about 1, 500 persons.’’
