ABSTRACT:
The seriousness and gravity of the issue of employment in Nigeria informed this study which was to appraise the impact of the activities of the National Directorate of Employment on graduate employment and job creation in Nigeria.
The study was aimed at determining the various programs of the directorate and assessing the level of its success with respect to graduate employment creation in Nigeria.
Secondary data were collected as well as oral interview of personnel in the course of the study.
It was found that the impact of the NDE on graduate employment in Nigeria has not been particularly positive and much still needs to be done.
Only modest achievement in the areas of generation of graduate employment has so far been recorded.
A thorough re-appraisal of its program in order to overhaul the system is desirable
CHAPTER ONE:
1.1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:
The Kuru Declaration of 2001 indicated the vision for Nigeria as to build a truly great African Democratic country, politically united, integrated and stable, economically prosperous, socially organized with equal opportunity for all and responsibility from all, to become the catalyst of African Renaissance and making adequate all-embracing contribution, sub-regionally, regionally and globally.
The task of achieving an economically prosperous country is a process which can only be achieved as part of the developmental process. Hence, Seers (1969) in his explanation of what constitutes development wrote that the questions to ask about a country’s development are therefore what has been happening to poverty? What has been happening to unemployment and what has been happening to inequality? If all these three have declined from high levels to low levels, then without doubt, this has been a period of development for the country concerned.
If one or two of these problems have been growing worse, especially if the entire three have ,then it would be inappropriate to call the result development, even if per capital income has doubled.
National Bureau of Statistics (2006)reported that the demand for employment opportunities in the country is ever-increasing with demand clearly outstripping supply.
Policies and programs that help to increase employment opportunities will therefore assist in alleviating poverty since the issue of unemployment has been linked directly to poverty.
The importance of the issue of job creation in National Development in Nigeria was underscored by the fact Achegbulu undertook an appraisal of enterprises and development program of National Directorate of Employment in the country
1.2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
The average rates of unemployment in Nigeria for the 1960’s and 1970’s were about 2.0 and 4.5% respectively (National Bureau of Statistics 2006). Since the early 1980’s, unemployment in Nigeria has been one of the most menacing social and economic problems the country has had to contend with. For instance in 1985, the national unemployment rate was 8.5%(National Bureau of Statistics 2006).Hardly can one find a family(whether rural or urban) in which nobody is either unemployed or threatened by unemployment.
Unemployment is partly responsible for social ills such as armed robbery, destitution, prostitution and other social vices. The latest unemployment figure in Nigeria according to the National Bureau for Statistics is 13.2% which when translated into labor, means that >13million able-bodied Nigerians are unemployed. The >70% of the unemployed persons were relatively unskilled primary and secondary school leavers between the ages of 13 and 25years.Graduate unemployment which hitherto was unnoticed, emerged and began to grow very rapidly.
This situation was extremely disturbing for the government, considering its socio-political implications as well as the economic wastage that cold result
Consequently, in March 1986, the federal government of Nigeria constituted a committee to come up with a strategy for dealing with the problem of unemployment, most especially among the youths. The acceptance of that committee’s report by the federal government led to the establishment of the National Directorate of Employment, an agency that was inaugurated on November 19,1986 with the task of implementing the committees’ recommendations by articulating programs for combating mass unemployment in Nigeria.
The problem being investigated in this study is the effects which National Directorate of Employment has on graduate employment and unemployment in Nigeria.
1.3. RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
A number of research questions arose from the problem under investigation here and this were considered in the study:
- What problem does the NDE have in place for unemployed graduates?
- Have such programs impacted on the rate of unemployment positively in Nigeria?
- Has employment been generated through the NDE program in Nigeria
- Is such employment that is generated among graduates sustainable.
1.4. HYPOTHESIS:
In order to answer the research questions, the following hypothesis were tested in the course of the study:
H0. The establishment of NDE in Nigeria has reduced graduate unemployment in the country.
H1. NDE has generated jobs to increase graduate employment in Nigeria
H3. The jobs created by the NDE for graduates in Nigeria have been sustainable?
1.5. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
1.The study was conducted to appraise the activities of the National Directorate of Employment in Nigeria
2 . The study was conducted to assess the impact of those activities on the generation of graduate employment.
1.6. SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:
The study focused on the impact of National Directorate of Employment in Nigeria. The areas of concentration were:
- The aims and objectives of the National Directorate of Employment
- Programs developed by the NDE to combat graduate unemployment in Nigeria
- Job creation programs embarked upon by the NDE
- The mechanism put in place by the NDE to ensure sustainability of employment generated for graduates.
