The Federal Government is wooing the Japanese government to invest in Nigeria to provide jobs for unemployed youths.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige made the appeal at a meeting with the Japanese Ambassador to Nigeria in Abuja, Mr Sadanobu Kusaoke.

According to the Minister, the Federal Government has a program that will send youths abroad for vocational training but need investors, to build industries in Nigeria where they can work when they return.

However, the Japanese Ambassador to Nigeria says he is at the office of the Labour and Employment Minister to strengthen the existing bilateral relations between the two countries.
