Ngige Laments rising rate of unemployment

The Minister of Labor and Employment, Chris Ngige, has said the rising rate of unemployment portends danger for the country.

Ngige disclosed this at the inaugural partnership economy summit, organized by the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs in Abuja.

He attributed lack of education to the problems bedeviling the country, warning that if not tackled the country might be completely wiped out.

The Minister, who harped on the need to provide quality education to people at the grassroots, said the inability to provide such was responsible for why the people were lured to partake in separatist agitations, terrorism among others.
