The Lagos State Government says creative thinking is the best
way to tackle the unemployment problem across the country.
The state Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment,
Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti, at the ministry’s three-day capacity
building retreat for its management staff on Friday said that
Nigerians need to start having the mentality of job creators not
as job-seekers.
He added that if every university graduate looking for office
employment persisted, the creative thinking and possibility of
evolving winning ideas by fresh graduates would go into
extinction.
Adding:
“Hence, the need to arrest the situation by making
people think outside the box by putting necessary
machineries in place for nurturing ideas.
“The creation of this ministry is as a result of
government’s desire to address unemployment and
boost already existing wealth creation and employment
interventions through vocational centers.
“The Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment is
more of an enabler; a link between the government and
the private sector in the area of unemployment reduction
and ensuring that quality skills are given to the right set
of people. We believe that through private sector
collaboration, more jobs can be created to bridge the
unemployment gaps.”
“Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has made a commitment
of N25bn Employment Trust Fund for employment and
job creation matters for the next four years.”
