Skilled and developed human capital are the only ways to create jobs and forge inclusive growth in Nigeria.
This is according to a Human Capital Development Expert, Mike Adeleye, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Business Morning.
According to him, considering the environmental hygiene situation in Nigeria, there are over 500,000 Bio-Chemistry; Biology etc. combined graduates unemployed, who can be trained on basic health, safety and food hygiene as public health workers leading to job creation.
He also suggested the need for Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS) Sure-P programme to replace the NYSC to create employment and save costs and tax payers’ money.
He believes funding from the GIS Sure-P would create between 500,000 to over 1 million jobs.
This comes as Nigeria prepares to host the 24th edition of the World Economic Forum on Africa, with the theme; Forging Inclusive Growth and Job Creation .
