Dapo Abiodun. Governor of Ogun State. |
The
job portal promised by the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, is
finally ready.
The
portal, in a statement issued in Abeokuta by the Chief Press Secretary,
Kunle Somorin, would register, on a continuous basis, unemployed youths
in the State with a view to providing them jobs suitable for their trade and
academic qualifications.
He
gave the site address as http://www.iseya.ng/public/.
“The
Government of Ogun State are partnering with the public-private sector oriented
to expand the job space for our teeming young men and women and those who have
special talents," the statement quoted the Governor as saying.
"It
is a major pillar of our quality governance model. We are going to have an
inclusive government that will utilise valuable potentials that abound in the
State and that's why we are involving the private sector.
“All
graduates and those with vocational training across the State will give their
information and we will endeavour to match them with potential employers,
not only within the civil service but also with the private sector, with whom
we are partnering”, he stated.
To
ensure that the citizens and residents of the states are not short-changed “we
will send a local content bill for legislative action, such that investors will
first look inward to availability of workers in Ogun State and make our youths
their primary catchment area when they site their companies here”.
The
Governor said his Government plans certain enablers as corollary to his mission
to build our future together through "qualitative governance,
education, healthcare, infrastructural development, digitization and
agriculture ".
"Besides
linking our graduates with industrialists and Government agencies, we plan to
engage 10,000 farmers to be supported for mechanized farming with attendant
value chain benefits to make agribusiness bedrock of his administration’s plan
to lift people out of poverty.
"Some
are also to be trained as DJ, artistes, dramatists, musicians and in the
creative arts and entrepreneurship", the statement added.
Already,
Governor Abiodun said 10,000 youths will be supported to plant cassava, maize
and rice - crops in which the state is a leading producer.
"Each
farmer will get a parcel of land and be supported with clearing, seedlings, extension and off takers services to ensure
profitability of their ventures," the statement concluded.
