The federal government of Nigeria will begin the
registration of unemployed Nigerians on
Wednesday, April 5
- The registration is designed to capture the
relevant details of any unemployed person

The federal government of Nigeria has announced that
registration of unemployed Nigerians will begin on
Wednesday, April 5.
TEANAIJA learnt that the announcement was made in
Abuja on Monday by the Deputy Director, Information
and Public Relations of the National Directorate of
Employment (NDE), Edmund Onwuliri.
Onwuliri said the registration will help the
government to collect up-to-date data of unemployed
Nigerians so as to be able to link job seekers up with
existing vacancies in the government, Vanguard
reports.
He said: “The online portal which goes live on
Wednesday April 5, 2017, is designed to capture the
relevant details of any unemployed person. It will
equally serve as a job exchange portal that will link job
seekers and employers.
“There will be a practical demonstration of the
workings of the portal at the NDE stand at the ongoing
28th edition of the Enugu International Trade (EIT) on
Thursday, April 6.”
Onwuliri said the portal address is: www.jobsforall.ng
He said: “The directorate sees this initiative as a bold
step toward deepening the effectiveness of its
employment creation strategies and a critical input into
the process of designing, implementing, monitoring and
evaluating programmes and schemes.”
        Onwuliri said the the registration would go a long way
to eliminate the stressful process of recruitment by
employers, as well as employees in both the private
and public sectors.
Meanwhile, the World Bank, under its Growth and
Employment (GEM) project, has approved N756.3
million for disbursement to 81 young Nigerian
innovators who participated in the 2016 Aso Villa
Demo Day (AVDD).
The AVDD is one of the economic empowerment
initiatives of the present administration.
A document obtained from the World Bank-funded
GEM project on Monday in Abuja, showed that the
money would be disbursed to the beneficiaries in two
tranches after a grant signing ceremony earlier
scheduled for end of March.

Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...
