He said that the new NDE Director-General, Dr Nasiru Argungu, was determined to re-position the NDE to effectively tackle the problem of mass unemployment in the country.

“The NDE has the mandate of President Muhammadu Buhari to embark on massive job creation across the country and the DG is so determined to carry out the President’s directive on job creation.

“The directorate has written a memo to the Gov Nyesom Wike to brief him about the implementation of the NDE programme in the state.

“We have requested the governor to directly recruit youths into the scheme to ensure that the state government is part of the job creation effort.

“We have also contacted Senators and members of the House of Representatives from the state to also recruit unemployed youths from their various constituencies into the programme,

“We informed the members of the State House of Assembly and all traditional rulers in the state to recruit their unemployed youths from all the communities in the state.

The state coordinator said that the trainees would be paid a monthly stipend of N2,000 each.

Asomugha said that the programme would commence by December and would last for three months.

“We are set to implement the programme in Rivers State and we call on all unemployed youths to key into the programme immediately.
