PERSONS CLAIMING TO MEMBERS OF LABOUR MARKET NOT RECOGNISED BY GOVERNMENT – COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR AND MANPOWER PLANNING, SUNNY IBUOUT

Akwa Ibom state government says it does not recognize individuals who make up the labour markets, which are found at strategic locations in Uyo, the state capital.

Labour market, as it is popularly called is made up of unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled workers in different fields, who sit-in-wait for clients to pick them up for menial jobs at building and other projects sites.

 

Some of the workers in an interview with Inspiration FM had called on the state government to carry them along and incorporate them into some ongoing projects in the state.

However, in an exclusive interview with our correspondent, UHUOTU OMILABU, the Akwa state commissioner for Labour and Manpower Planning, Pastor SUNNY IBUOT said the pleas of the group may not be met as they are not members of any trade union.

 

Mr IBUOT  however noted that in a bid to reduce the unemployment rate in the state, government will train 100 youths in software development, as the world currently revolves around ICT.

He emphasized that the programme which will kick off before the end of the year, will capture bright minds who already have some basic knowledge of the skill and are willing to increase capacity.
