PREFACE The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) was established in 1986 as a direct response to the dire consequences of the unwholesome economic climate that enveloped the country in the 1980s.

The Directorate was mandated by section 2(c) Cap 250, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 1999 (formerly Decree No. 24 of 1989) to among other things, design and implement programmes to combat mass unemployment as well as articulate policies aimed at developing work programmes with labour intensive potentials. This mandate was carried out in 2006 within the ambit of a Budgetary Provision that was essentially limiting. Table 1.1 gives a purview of the beneficiaries of NDE’s mandate in 2006. Its shows that a total of 117,421 unemployed Nigerians and 120 women cooperatives benefited from various employment programmes in 2006. In specific terms 51,897 school leavers benefited from the skills acquisition training in over 80 trades while 1,179 of them were provided with tools and equipment to start their own business outfits. This was in addition to 2,935 master trainers that were engaged to impart marketable skills to the unemployed youths. Similarly, 2940 Nigerian graduates of tertiary institutions benefited from the Start-Your-Own Business Training (SYOB) in furtherance of NDE’s sensitization on entrepreneurship development programme. Over 43,263 corps members were sensitized for self employment as a veritable option for wealth creation and success in life. 2,034 enterprises were created. Also within the period 4,300 youths were trained in various Agricultural related activities. While 4,408 school leavers and graduates of tertiary institutions were engaged in Environmental Beautification and Community Development projects as well as Graduates Attachment Programme (GAP)/Professional Graduates Pupilage Scheme (PGPS). It is apposite to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of friends of NDE and other stakeholders in Employment Generation/Poverty Alleviation in helping to enhance our job creation endeavours. The agencies include Nigeria Agricultural cooperative and Rural Development Bank (NACRDB), Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Nigerdock, Nigeria Import and Export bank (NEXIM), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), International Labour Organization (ILO), German Technical Cooperation

viii

Agency (GTZ), National Bureau for Roads and Rural Infrastructure (NBRRI), National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP), Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) etc. Worthy of notable mention is the encouragement, support and exemplary leadership of the Honourable Minister of Labour. This is complimented by the commitment and dedication of the Directorate’s Management and staff to the realization of the Directorate’s Mandate in spite of all odds. The Annual Report is a strategic important document of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) as a veritable source of information and data for researchers, students, interest groups of various descriptions, stakeholders etc. It is hoped that the 2006 Annual Report in its coverage and depth will provide the ambience as the fountain of specialized information and data.

SECTION ONE

1.1 NATIONAL DIRECTORATE OF EMPLOYMENT (NDE) IN BRIEF

The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) was established in 26th March, 1986 following a compelling need for the country to have a permanent institutional mechanism to tackle the problem of unemployment in Nigeria. The Directorate’s enabling Act, CAP 250 Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (formerly Decree No. 29 of 1989) was set up as an employment agency charged with the responsibility to design and implement programmes to combat mass unemployment. The NDE also, has the mandate to articulate policies aimed at developing programmes with labour intensive potentials as well as to obtain and maintain a data bank on employment and vacancies in the country with a view to acting as a clearing house to link job seekers with vacancies.

In order to actualize the mandate, the NDE developed four (4) well articulated employment creation programmes namely: Vocational skills Development (VSD), Small Scale enterprises (SSE), Rural Employment Promotion (REP), and Special Public Work (SPW). The objectives of these programmes are achieved through the delivery of the following training strategies: Vocational Skills Acquisition, Entrepreneur/Business training, Rural Employment Promotion, Labour based works, Employment Counseling and Linkages as well as Enterprise Creation through resettlement of those trained to set up their own small businesses.

The Vocational Skills Development (VSD) programme provides vocational skills acquisition training for unemployed school leavers and drop outs in over 80 trades across the country. Such school leavers are attached to master craftsmen and women as apprentices under the National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (NOAS) for periods long enough for them to acquire necessary skills (especially usually between 3 months and 24 months). In the rural areas, where master craftsmen and women are inadequate or non-existent, well equipped mobile training workshops are deployed to train the unemployed youths for three months, under the School-On-Wheels (SOW) Scheme.

The Small Scale Enterprises (SSE) programme focuses on unemployed graduates of tertiary institutions as well as retired public

2

and private sector workers who still want to engage in economically productive activities. These target groups are exposed to Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) and Start-Your-Own-Business (SYOB).

After the training, some of the successful participants are provided with soft loans to set up micro enterprises while many others are linked up to credit institutions for loan.

The NDE established the Rural Employment Promotion (REP) programme in a bid to awaken the interest of the unemployed youths in agriculture, exploit the tremendous opportunities for employment and wealth creation in the agricultural sector and consequently, stem the rural urban drift of the youths.

The Directorate also established Special Public Works programme to provide temporary employment for unemployed youths until such a time they could secure wage-employment or become self employed. This is achieved through the use of labour-based light-equipment supported method of construction and maintenance of rural infrastructure. Under the Graduate Attachment Programme (GAP), some unemployed graduates are attached to industries, companies, firms, hospitals, financial institutions, etc to gain practical work experience to assist them get either permanent employment or establish their businesses based on the experience garnered.

The NDE, right from inception has collaborated with both international and local organizations. The NDE has benefited tremendously from the technical support and capacity building assistance from the ILO, UNDP and the German Technical Assistance Agency (GTZ). Also, it collaborates with agencies such as National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), National Manpower Board (NMB), Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Nigerdock, Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI) and Federal Institute for Industrial Research and Development Oshodi (FIIRO), Centre for Management Development (CMD), Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA), Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, National Institutes for Oil Palm Research and National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), amongst other. The benefits of these collaborative arrangements include facilitation of programme delivery and strengthening NDE’s internal capacity in terms of human resource development as well as the capacity of a number of operators in the informal sector.

1.2 NDE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

At the apex of NDE’s organisational structure is the Board which is responsible for policy formulation for the Directorate’s operations. However, the NDE Board was not constituted in 2006. The Federal Ministry of Labour and productivity supervises the employment creation activities of the agency.

The NDE has four (4) programme departments and four (4) support service departments at the Directorate’s headquarters and the 36 state offices and Abuja. While all the eight (8) departments are headed by the Directors who report directly to the Director-General, State Coordinators are appointed to head the state offices. Apart from the programme and support service Departments, there are branches and units that perform functions which facilitate employment programme delivery.

SECTION TWO

2.0 SKILLS ACQUISITION TRAINING 2.1 VOCATIONAL SKILLS ACQUISITION TRAINING

The Vocational Skills acquisition training programme is executed by the Vocational Skills Development Department of the NDE. The programme was designed for the unemployed, school leavers and other persons who lacked productive and marketable skills who did not have opportunity to take care of themselves in any economic endeavours. These categories of persons are imparted with vocational skills via training to enable them become self employed and to employ others.

Two (2) types of skills acquisition training offered by the National Directorate of Employment are National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (NOAS) and School-On-wheels (SOW) Scheme.

The NOAS involves the use of Informal Sector Operators such as master craftsmen and women as training outlets for the training of the unemployed youths. These unemployed youths are attached to learn and master vocations of their choice with a specified training period. The training period ranges between 3 months and 2 years depending on the trade. There are over 80 trades available for the unemployed school leavers.

Under the School-On-Wheels (SOW) Scheme, the NDE uses well equipped mobile training workshops to train unemployed youths living in the rural areas. Invariably, the SOW is a rural version of NOAS which is urban based but implemented based on the needs of the rural communities. The period of the training is 3 months. In addition, theoretical instructional training during weekends to complement practical vocational training is always carried out under the Saturday Theory Classes. This is implemented to enable the trainees have comprehensive training cycle for in-depth vocational skills acquisition and successful entrepreneurs whenever they establish their own business.

SECTION THREE

3.0 ENTERPRISE CREATION 3.1 BUSINESS TRAINING

The Business training programme is specifically designed for graduates of tertiary institutions to take advantage of the opportunities in the micro and small business sub-sector of the economy in order to create employment and wealth for themselves and others.

The business training programme of the Directorate covers wide range of areas which include:

i. Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP), which

sensitizes NYSC members to business opportunities available for self-employment and how to get assistance to own businesses after service year.

ii. Start-Your-Own Business training (on enterprise creation)

which exposes interested graduates after NYSC to the rudiments of business Start-Ups.

iii. Improve Your Own Business training for those who have

problems in their already established businesses. All these business training schemes were designed to inculcate the spirit of entrepreneurship, creativity and self-reliance to interested unemployed graduates of tertiary institutions.

3.1.1 Activities:

During the period under review, the following activities were carried out by the Small Scale Enterprises Department to actualize its mandate of generating employment through business training for the unemployed graduates of tertiary institutions.

i. Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP)

The Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) was conducted to sensitize and stimulate business initiatives of

14

graduates of tertiary institutions and retired public/private sector workers to enable them identify business opportunities and subsequently combine factors of production to create self-employment. The EDP sensitization training was conducted during the orientation programme of the National Youth Service Corps Scheme and followed up with the Start-Your-Own-Business (SYOB) training programme for graduates that indicated interest in going into self-employment.

The training had succeeded to a certain extent, in widening their horizons to the vistas of opportunities available outside paid employment and stimulated their interest in self-employment thereby encouraging the creation of a pool of potential and practicing small scale entrepreneurs.

ii. Start-Your-Own-Business (SYOB) Training

As already mentioned earlier, the SYOB training was conducted for unemployed graduates who indicated interest in going into self-employment.

Also, posting and verification of SYOB participants to

established firms and companies to gain practical work experience.

3.1.2 ACHIEVEMENTS

i. Entrepreneurship Sensitization

In 2006, a total of 43,295 NYSC members benefited from the entrepreneurship sensitization training conducted at NYSC orientation camps nationwide (Table 3.1).

iii GRADUATE ATTACHMENT PROGRAMME (GAP) The GAP came into being in October, 2006 as a result of clamour for participation by the graduates of tertiary institutions who were not covered by the PGPS as well as the need for the Directorate of extend equal job opportunities to all unemployed graduates of tertiary institutions regardless of discipline The GAP scheme was designed to provide graduates of tertiary institutions with BSC/HND in any discipline to acquire necessary practical experience in companies or agencies. This transient job opportunity enables graduates to acquire some work experience and develop professional skills that would place them at a vantage position to get good jobs or go into self-employment in their areas of competence.

A total of 1,140 unemployed graduates with various disciplines like Engineering, Building/Environmental and Humanities/Social Sciences benefited from the programme in 36 states of the federation and Abuja. Also a total of 297 collaborating organisations fulfilled the other side of the agreement by engaging them (Table 5.3)
