adeleyeThe Federal Government has been asked to come up with more policies and framework to tackle the high level of unemployment in the country.

Mr Mike Adeleye, a human capital development expert, is of the opinion that for the private sector to thrive and create employment opportunities, certain modalities have to be properly put in place such as access to finance and improved infrastructure development.

While, commending the Federal Government’s Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS), he raised concerns over the implementation of the scheme.

According to him, for the scheme to tackle the problem of unemployment, there must be a high level of awareness especially among employers.

Mr Adeleye also advised that undergraduates should be encouraged to gain work experience while in school.

He says this will go a long way in reducing the number of unemployed youth drastically.
