The Nigerian government has been asked to come up with more policies and framework to tackle the high unemployment rate.
On a Channels Television’s programme, Business Morning, on Monday, a human capital development expert, Mr Mike Adeleye, opined 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 stressed the need for undergraduates to be encouraged to gain work experience while in school.
He said this would go a long way in reducing the number of unemployed youths drastically.
