PREFACE
The NDE was established in 1986 and statutorily mandated by an Act of
parliament CAP 250 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1999, section
2 (c) to among other things, design and implement programme to combat
mass unemployment. The mandate of the Directorate as contained in the
enabling Act also include to articulate policies aimed at developing work
programmes with labour intensive potentials.
The Directorate has over the years, vigorously pursued its mandate through
series of employment generation programmes and will always remain
focused, proactive and poised to confront unemployment to a tolerable
level.
The 2011 Annual Report is the compendium of the Directorate’s Job
creation activities, achievements and the attendant challenges. The President
during his inaugural speech identified unemployment as a major challenge to
combat.Thus the policy thrust of the President regarding employment
generation became a major concern to NDE as the apex government
employment agency. In the year under review, the Directorate spared no
effort in ensuring that its employment generation programmes are efficiently
and effectively implemented.
It is gratifying, however, that Nigeria is making steady progress in curbing
the unemployment menace. As a country commited to well-being of its
citizens in ensuring that unemployment and poverty are eradicated, NDE
being the apex government agency is supported in making the fight against
unemployment tractable and not a mere chase of the mirage.
During the review period a total of 185,659 youths and women who were
hitherto unemployed were employed through the instrumentality of the
NDE core programmes. The impressive achievements recorded is attributed
to prudent management of resources at her disposal.
The NDE achievements in 2011 can be summarized as follows:
Training in Skills Acquisition:
National Open Appreciation Scheme (NOAS) - 31,339
School-On-Wheels Scheme (SOW) - 3,154

is worthy of commendation. Also acknowledged is the high level
commitment, dedication and sincerity displayed by the management and
staff of the Directorate nationwide.

SECTION ONE
BRIEF ON THE NATIONAL DIRECTORATE OF EMPLOYMENT
The issue of unemployment in Nigeria as in many countries of the world, has
been one of the most menacing social and economic problems the country has
had to contend with.
Unemployment in part is acclaimed to account for such social problems as armed
robbery, destitution, prostitution, kidnapping and other social vices.
Governments all over the world are spending huge amount of resources in
combating the menace.
According to National Bureau Of Statistics (NBS) the National unemployment
rate as at December, 2011 stood at 23%. This when translated into labour,
means 23 millions able bodied Nigerians are unemployed.
Also, it is an established fact that increasing level of poverty has a direct
relationship with the unemployment situation. Official statistics released by the
National Bureau Of Statistics shows that 60% of Nigerians, that is more than
60millions Nigerians live below poverty line as at December,2011.
BACKGROUND TO THE CREATION OF THE NDE:
The average rates of unemployment in Nigeria for the decades of the 60s and
70s were about 2% and 4.5% respectively. These rates were considered both
politically and economically sustainable. However, with global recession and
consequent economic difficulties in the 1980s, the magnitude and structure of
unemployment changed fundamentally in Nigeria.
The Nigeria unemployment issue then acquired features like:
i.Over 70% of the unemployed were relatively unskilled primary and secondary
school leavers between the ages of 13-25 years.
ii.Graduate unemployment, which hitherto was unnoticed, emerged and was
growing rapidly.
This development was extremely worrisome for the Government, considering
the socio-political implications as well as the economic wastage that would
result. Consequently in March 1986, the Federal Government constituted a
committee headed by Mr S.O.Chukwuma to work out strategies for dealing with
the problem of unemployment especially among youths. The acceptance of the
committee’s report by the Federal Government led to the establishment of the
National Directorate of Employment.
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NDE
The National Directorate of Employment came into being with the inauguration
of her board on November 19,1986. Its immediate task was to implement the
recommendations of the Chukwuma Committee by articulating programmes for
combating mass unemployment in Nigeria.
THE MANDATE
The law establishing the National Directorate of Employment ( CAP 250 of the
Laws of the Federal Republic Nigeria ,1999) presents its mandate as follows:
i.To design and implement programmes to combat mass unemployment;
ii.To articulate policies aimed at developing work programmes with labour
intensive potential;
iii.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 collaboration with other government agencies; and
iv.To implement any other policies as may be laid down from time to time by the
Board established under section 3 of its enabling law.
The NDE therefore, derives its routine functions from this mandate. Thus, the
main function of the NDE became to combat mass unemployment through skills
acquisition, self employment and labour intensive work schemes.
STRUCTURE OF NDE
To ensure wide coverage and proper co-ordination/supervision of its job
creation programmes , the NDE has presence/offices in all the 36 state capitals
of the Federation and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Also, at the Local Government Areas, there are NDE Liason Officers who ensure
effective implementation of the Directorate’s programmes at the grassroot. The
corporate headquarters of the NDE is located at No. 1, Nouakchott Street, Zone
1, Wuse, Abuja.
To strengthen programme implementation and projects monitoring, six zonal
offices in the six geo- political zones of North East,North West, North Central,
South East, South West and South South Zones were established and made
functional.
TARGET POPULATION
The magnitude of problems caused by unemployment and poverty has
assumed tremendous proportions and it cuts across age, gender, social
status, etc. The workforce of the country constitutes about 51% of the
entire population of over 140 million persons. These people belong to
the following broad categories that make up the target population
which NDE programmes/schemes aim at addressing:
i. School Leavers; ii. Graduates of Tertiary Institutions;
iii. Matured Persons;
iv. People With Special Needs (the vulnerable);
v. Women, and
v. Prospective Entrepreneurs, Artisans and Craftsmen.
It is imperative to consider that each of these categories has its own
peculiarities. Therefore, activity packages are proposed accordingly to
suit each category of persons.
AREAS OF INTERVENTION:
Based on the mandate given to NDE and the magnitude of unemployment in the
country, the Directorate intervenes directly in the following areas:
Employment Counselling Service
Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Training
Provision of Transient Jobs; and
Enterprise Creation for trained beneficiaries
The programmes of the Directorate are;
1. VOCATIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
The NDE’s realization that one of the major causes of unemployment is that
of skills mismatch and also the cognizance of the potentials of the informal
sector and the traditional apprenticeship system to economic development,
gave rise to the Directorate designing and implementing vocational and
technical skills acquisition schemes. These schemes therefore address the
problem of unemployment resulting from lack of productive and marketable
skills among the unemployed. The target group includes:
Persons who have not attended school;
School leavers and school dropouts;
Persons with special needs, and
Fresh graduates of tertiary institutions who desire to require functional
and marketable skills especially in ICT and related modern skills.
The schemes addressing these identified needs objectives are housed
under the Vocational Skills Development Department. There are:
National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (NOAS) – The NOAS involves
the use of informal sector operators (master crafts men/women) as
training outlets for unskilled unemployed persons. These persons are
recruited and attached with the master crafts men/women for periods
long enough for the apprentices to acquire necessary skills. The period
ranges between three months and twenty-four months and span over
120 trades.(see appendix ).
School-On-Wheels Scheme (SOW) - While the NOAS concentrated
more in urban and semi-urban areas, SOW was designed to extend
skills acquisition training programme to the unemployed persons in the
rural areas. This is achieved by deploying well-equipped Mobile
Training Workshops (MTWs) to the rural areas where informal training
outlets are deficient or nonexistent. In this way, the Directorate
contributes also in stemming the rural-urban drift in addition to
imparting marketable skills to the rural unemployed. The training
period for SOW, based on specific needs of the rural/community is
usually three months. Trades under which skills were acquired per
training cycle range from three to ten.
Skills Acquisition for the Special Needs (Vulnerable and Disabled):
This is a special skills acquisition scheme likened to the BNOAS but
tailored to meet the needs of the identified vulnerable and persons
with special needs within the locality.
Waste to Wealth Scheme – This W-T-W scheme is aimed a utilizing
waste materials that hitherto seem waste to make decorative and
household items.
Resettlement Loan Scheme (RLS) - The ultimate aim of the NDE’s
training programmes is to make the beneficiaries self-employed
through the establishment of their own enterprises. However, these
trainees/beneficiaries are school leavers and/ or or fresh graduates
who do not possess the needed security (collateral) to enable them
access funds from financial institutions. Again, some of their family
member may lack confidence in their ability to establish and
successfully manage an enterprise and therefore may not be coming
forth to assist them. The Resettlement Loan Scheme (RLS) of the NDE
was therefore instituted to address those problems. It involves the
provision of equipment and tools to some of the trained unemployed
persons to enable them establish and run business
enterprises/workshops successfully under which they acquired the
requisite skills.
Trainer’s Capacity Upgrade (TCU) - Towards enhancing the quality of
training at the skills acquisition centres of the master crafts
men/women, the NDE introduced the TCU. This scheme involves the
provision of capital as soft loan to some of the master trainers to up-
grade their centres with modern tools and equipment for qualitative
and effective training delivery.
2. ENTREPRENEURIAL (BUSINESS) TRAINING AND ENTERPRISE CREATION
(SMALL SCALE ENTERPRISES)
Small scale entrepreneurs play significant role in the development of the
economy. They employ a good proportion of the labour force especially
from the informal sector thus depopulating the over saturated labour
market. The NDE recognizes this role and encourages them by organizing
entrepreneurship/business training programme aimed at enhancing their
knowledge of basic entrepreneurial requirements and constraints. This is
the platform on which the Small – Scale Enterprises Development
Department of the NDE execute its enterprise creation strategy.
The Business Training Scheme is therefore designed to stimulate business
initiative of graduates of tertiary institutions and retired public/private
sector workers to enable them identify business opportunities and
thereby combine factors of production to create self – employment and
wealth for themselves and the nation. School leavers and artisans are also
exposed to basic business training. Schemes implemented under this
programme include
Start Your Own Business (SYOB) for graduates of tertiary
institutions,
Basic Business Training (BBT) for school leavers and artisans,
Improve Your Own Business (IYB) for ongoing businesses as a
mentoring/support activity,
Qik Qik Business Ownership Scheme
EasyBiz Scheme
Women Employment Branch (WEB). This came to foster gender
sensitivity of NDE Programme among women organizations. In
executing this noble objective the NDE liaises with Women
Organizations and promotes the participation of Women in
Income and Employment Generating Activities such as creative
dress making, fondant cake production, event management and
interior decoration, among others.
Enterprise Creation Scheme – the provision of starter packs –
either in cash or equipment to beneficiaries of the various
training schemes to practice their skills – entrepreneurial or
vocational/technical.
Collaboration Branch collaborates with both local and
international agencies in areas of employment creation and
enhancing the standard of living of the rural populace. Through
this NDE has collaborated with local communities, Local
Government Council and the ILO, to established food processing
centers (Facility Centers) among other activities.
3. TRAINING FOR RURAL EMPLOYMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
With the advent of the oil economy in Nigeria, there has been a systematic
abandonment of the agricultural sector through rural-urban drift in search
of paid employment which today is almost non-existent. In a bid to awaken
the interest of unemployed youths in agriculture and to exploit the
tremendous opportunities for employment and wealth creation in the
agricultural sector and consequently, stem the rural-urban drift of the
youth, the NDE designs special training programmes for youths in
agriculture. The training programme covers modern agricultural practices
in the area of crop production, crop processing and preservation livestock
production and management and other agro-allied ventures. This is
handled under the Rural Agricultural Development Training Scheme
(RADTS) at Agricultural Skills Training Centers (ASTC’s) which are
established in almost all the States of the Federation and Abuja FCT.
Another scheme aimed at enhancing the standard of living of the rural
populace through wealth creation is the Rural Handicraft Training Scheme
(RHTS). The scheme seeks to train rural farmer-participants in various
off-farm income-generating activities in the production and marketing
of handicraft using cheap and easily sourced local raw materials. This
is usually during their off-farm periods.
Graduates of these schemes are further empowered financially to set
up a micro farm/enterprise of their learnt skills.
4. TRAINING IN PUBLIC AND LABOUR BASED WORKS
The construction and maintenance of urban and rural infrastructure in
Nigeria have hitherto depended on heavy, capital-intensive equipment
and technology. The trend was efficient and sustainable while the
economy was buoyant. Graduate and school leaver unemployment at that
time constituted no threat to the nation. The present poor states of the
economy have had its toll on the acquisition of heavy equipment in
adequate quantities to meet the high demand for infrastructural
development and maintenance in the country. The NDE therefore views
infrastructural construction and maintenance as capable of becoming a
labour sponge. The International Labour Organization subsequently
suggested the use of labour based light equipped supported method of
construction and maintenance of rural infrastructure which was adopted.
This is implemented under the NDE’s Community Development Scheme
(CDS) in collaboration with benefitting communities or agencies.
Also, as a way of providing transient jobs under the Graduate Attachment
Programme (GAP), fresh graduates of tertiary institutions are recruited
and attached to willing corporate organizations for tutelage for a period
of six months. It is expected that the attachee(s) would have gained
needed skills and practical experience that would help address the skills
mismatch identified as one of the causes of graduate unemployment in
the country thereby enhancing their employability and/or potentials for
self employment. This may also lead to permanent absorption of the
attachee by the organization.
It has also been identified that energy is one of the major infrastructural
component needed for urban and rural economic development and
growth. On realization of the potentials of energy for employment, the
NDE adopted Renewable Energy Training Scheme (RETS) – Sun (Solar),
Wind and Water (Hydro) as strategies for employment generation. Under
the scheme unemployed graduates of tertiary institution are trained in the
generation of energy from surplus natural resources.
The Renewable Energy Training Scheme equips unemployed graduates
with skills for solar, wind and/or hydro energy procurement, installation
and maintenance for sustainable self reliance and to improve electricity
power generation for economic development in the country.
5. EMPLOYMENT COUNSELING SERVICES
The Employment counseling services was designed by the NDE to
ameliorate the disillusionment of Nigerian Youths caused by long period
of searching for job and to re-orientate their minds for positive thinking
towards self employment and self-reliance. This service is provided by the
NDE Job Centres . The centre with its presence in all 36 States offices and
Abuja FCT inculcates an attitudinal change on the unemployed to the
present realities in the Nigeria Labour Market. The services also facilitate
and promote the realization of self-competence and latent abilities that
can be engaged and thus assist in reducing the difficulties faced by young
unemployed graduates and every other unemployed person.
Recently, the Directorate launched NDE Enterprise and Finance
Counseling Clinic (NDE efcc), a new initiative meant to act as a platform to
harness the abundant human and natural resources in the country for job
creation and wealth generation. The scheme is designed and packaged,
through the instrumentality of counseling services and vocational
guidance to expose unemployed graduates to the benefits of self-
employment and the importance of entrepreneurship as better
alternatives to wage employment which are almost non-existent.
6. COLLABORATION WITH AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
In other to effectively discharge its mandate, the NDE over the years had
collaborated with both national and international agencies/organizations.
These are in areas of technical support, capacity building assistance as well
as in areas of programme delivery. Some of these agencies that were
outstanding within the year include – National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), National Bureau of Statistics
(NBS), National Planning Commission (NPC),Bank of Agriculture,Nigeria
Employers’ Consultative Association, United Nation Development
Programme, Office of the Wife of the Vice President, Cards Technology
Limited, Office of the Vice President, Eartholeum Network Limited,
NAPEP, ILO, GTZ, National Board for Technical Education (NBTE),
NERFUND among others.
The benefits accruing from these collaborative arrangements include
facilitation of programme delivery strategy, strengthening the
Directorate’s internal capacity and development and enhanced financing
of projects.
7. NDE ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
At the apex of NDE’s organizational structure is the Management Board
chaired by the Honourable Minister of Labour and Productivity. While the
Board is charged with the responsibility of policy formulation for the
Directorate’s operations, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity
serves as the supervising Ministry of the NDE.
The National Directorate of Employment has four (4) core programmes
departments. Five support service departments assisted the programmes
departments in ensuring that the mandate of the Directorate is
adequately achieved. All the nine (9) departments are headed by the
Directors who report to the Director – General. The States offices are
however manned by State Coordinators who are appointed and are
accountable to the Director General. Apart from the progrmme and
support services departments, there are branches and units that perform
functions which facilitate employment programme delivery. The
programme and service departments and the branches/units are:

TRAINING IN VOCATIONAL SKILLS ACQUISITION
The Vocational Skills Acquisition Training Programme of the NDE is targeted at
millions of school leavers and hundreds of thousands of graduates of tertiary
institutions who are the building block of economic growth. This group
constitutes the majority of the unemployment population and is the vocal and
volatile segment in the society. The programme therefore provides these
categories of the unemployed the opportunity to undergo necessary skills
acquisition training that would enable them to be creative and generate income
through self employment.
In the course of the year, NDE management approved a dichotomy of two
schemes under the National Open Apprenticeship Scheme, viz: Basic National
Open Appreticeship Scheme(B-NOAS) and Advanced National Open
Apprenticeship Scheme(A-NOAS) as the two levels of training under the National
Open Appreticeship Scheme.
The department thus operated the following:
i)Basic-National Open Appreticeship Scheme (B-NOAS)
ii)Advance – National Open Apprenticeship Scheme(A-NOAS)
iii)School-on-Wheels Scheme(SOW)
IV)Resettlement Loan Scheme
2.1 BASIC NATIONAL OPEN APPRETICESHIP SCHEME (B-NOAS)
The Basic National Open Appreticeship Scheme is a scheme through which
unemployed school leavers are recruited and posted to Master
craftmen/women who are informal sector operators. They impart skills to them
using their training facilities. Training allowances are paid to the master trainers
for their services on a quarterly basis while the trainees also receive some form
of stipends to subsidize their cost of feeding and transportation. The trainees are
attached to the trainers for period long enough to acquire necessary skills that
will enable them set up their own workshop and thus become self-reliant.
2.1B ADVANCED NATIONAL OPEN APPRETICESHIP SCHEME
The Advanced NOAS is designed for graduates of B-NOAS whose skills need to be
upgraded to ensure a higher level of proficiency.It is slated for pilot testing in FCT
early 2012 and subsequently extend to other states.
2.1.1 Activities:
During the review period the NOAS unit undertook the underlisted activities viz:
i)Authentication of trainees in the 36 states and FCT. The authentication exercise
was meant to generate relevant data which will assist management in taking
decision that will enhance programme delivery.
ii) During the review period, management reviewed master trainers allowance
from N166.66K per trainee per month to N1,000.00 per trainee per month.
iii) Towards enhancing the quality of training delivery by the master trainers,a
nationwide training of master trainers was conducted. This was aimed at
exposing the trainers to different learning media and effective use of
instructional aides and materials for skills development. It was also to address
the issue of problems of personal and social competence in skills training.
iv)Certification process for NOAS graduate trainees has been initiated and is
currently on-going. A working committee comprising officers from the VSD
department of the Directorate and personel from the Federal Ministry Labour
and Productivity has been set up to undertake an inspection tour of all NDE skills
acqusition centres for the purpose of accrediting the centres into Vocational
Education Institutes (VEIs).
2.1.2 Achievements:
A total of 10,720 unemployed youths were recruited and imparted with
skills under the National Open Apprenticeship Scheme in 2011 to
complement 15,035 trainees who were spill over from the previous year.
Thus, for the year 2011 a total of 25,755 trainees underwent training in
various trades nationwide under NOAS.
A total of 2,360 master trainers drawn from the states were engaged and
tutored on effective use of instructional aides and materials for skill
development.
Trainers and trainees were fully renumerated for their services and transport
allowance paid for within the period under report.
A total of 10,683 trainees graduated from the scheme during the review
period
2.2 SCHOOL-ON-WHEELS SCHEME The School-On-Wheels scheme is designed to articulate training activities in the rural areas with a view to creating a pool of artisans that will readily address the needs of the rural environment and therefore promote economic activities therein. It involves the deployment of well equipped mobile training workshop (MTW) to the rural areas for skills impartation. The SOW covers some specific trades based on the employment needs of the rural community and the training period is three months per cycle. 2.2.1 Activities: i)Recruitment and training of unemployed youths in 24 states; ii)Prime movers were refurbished in twenty states; iii)Demonstration using the instrumentality of the SOW was embarked upon in 36 states and FCT 2.2.2 Achievements: A total of 3,154 rural youths that hitherto lacked productive and marketable skills were imparted with skills that made them employable through the instrumentality of the School-on-Wheels scheme.

2.3 RESETTLEMENT LOAN SCHEME (RLS)
The overall objective of NDE’s training programmes is to equip the
unemployed school leavers and graduates of tertiary institutions with
the necessary skills to enable them become self-employed through
the establishment of their own enterprises or to make them posses
the required skills and knowledge needed by employers of labour.
However, most of the trainees that graduated from NDE porgramme
do not possess the needed collateral/security to enable them access
funds from financial institutions. Again, the relations and
family/friends of the graduated trainees may not be willing to
advance fund to them for fear of their inability to manage the
business successfully.
To address the problem of initial capital outlay required to establish
business of their own, the NDE instituted the Resettlement Loan
Scheme (RLS) in 1994. The Resettlement Scheme is designed by the
NDE as a way of encouraging graduates of Vocational Skills
Development Training Scheme and other schemes to go into self-
employment by owning their own workshops.
A total of one thousand, seven hundred and twenty five [1,725]
persons received resettlement tools/equipment in 36 states of the
federation and FCT Abuja under the NOAS in the period under
review.

SECTION THREE
3.0 SMALL SCALE ENTERPRISES PROGRAMME
Small and medium scale enterprises have long believed to be catalysts for economic growth and national development both in developed and developing countries. In Nigeria where private sector is not well developed SME is assumed to play the role of employment generator, facilitator of economic recovery and national development.
The benefits of Small Scale Enterprises to any economy are easily
noticeable. They include:
i. contribution to the economy in terms of output of goods and services;
ii. creation of jobs at relatively low capital cost, especially in the fast growing service sector;
iii. provision of vehicle for reducing income disparities; iv. developing a pool of skilled and semi-skilled workers as a basis
for the future industrial expansion; v. improving forward and backward linkages between
economically, socially and geographically diverse sectors of the economy;
vi. providing opportunities for developing and adapting appropriate technological approaches;

Small Scale Enterprises are usually characterized by dynamism, witty
innovations, efficiency, and their small size allows for faster decision-
making process. In Nigeria, the developments of small and medium
enterprise are important for employment generation, solid
entrepreneurial base and encouragement for the use of local raw
materials and technology.
Small Scale Enterprises department of the NDE employs various
strategies in order to create employment, increase job growth, and
induce change, innovation and competition.
3.1 BUSINESS TRAINING
The Business Training Scheme of the NDE is one of the many strategies
designed to stimulate business initiative of graduates of tertiary
institutions and retired public/private sector workers to enable them
identify business opportunities and thereby combine factors of
production to create self employment and wealth for themselves and
the nation.
The training scheme covers the under listed areas:
a) Entrepreneurship Development Programme: This programme is
normally organized for National Youth Corps members while
undergoing the mandatory orientation at their respective
camps. It is meant to sensitise them on the opportunities
available outside paid employment and how they could obtain
financial assistance to set up their businesses.
b) Start Your Own Business (SYOB): The Start Your Own Business
Scheme is designed to equip graduates who had indicated their
interest in going into self employment after their NYSC, with the
techniques of business start ups.
c) Basic Business Training (BBT): The Basic Business Training
Scheme is meant to expose school leavers’ artisans to the
rudiments of business organization and operations.
d) Training of women groups: This involved the training of women and vulnerable persons, in technical and business skills to enable them establish specific skill-based enterprises within the shortest possible time and are able to manage such enterprises successfully. Trainings are conducted in various trades such as interior decoration, event management, creative dress making, batik & dye, confectionery, hat making, soap making, bead stringing and a host of other simple trades.
These business training schemes were designed to inculcate the spirit
of entrepreneurship and stimulate the interest of the unemployed
graduates of tertiary institutions and graduate artisans of various
skills acquisitions schemes in self employment.
3.2 ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
a. Training-Of-Trainers
The SSE department organized a five-day Training of Trainers (TOT)
from 26th – 30th July 2011 workshop for SSE Officers from the
Headquarters and Heads of Department (HODs) from the 36 States of
the Federation and FCT, Abuja. The training was conducted at two
centres simultaneously, namely, Asaba, Delta State and Lokoja, Kogi
State.
The training was conducted with a view to repositioning the SSE
Department and enhancing the technical competencies of the
Enterprise Development Officers (EDOs). The training was also to
enhance participants’ technical skills in meeting the challenges of the
Directorate’s mandate and create knowledgeable entrepreneurs for
self employment. The main focus and expectation was that at the end
of the workshop, the current SYOB training manual would be
redesigned to reflect the demand of stakeholders for technically
qualified field officers with the capacity to implement the
Department’s mandate.
Twenty-four officers from the Southern States and SSE Department
officers from the Headquarters were in attendance at the Asaba
Centre, while twenty-eight officers attended the training from the
Northern states held in Lokoja, Kogi State.
b. NDE/QikQik And NDE/Easibiz Scheme
The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) with a view to
implementing and delivering robust programmes to address mass
unemployment went into partnership with Eartholeum Networks
Limited and Cards Technology Limited respectively to create a
platform for job creation, self-employment, poverty reduction and the
provision of sustainable income opportunities.
The NDE went into partnership with these organisations with a view to
creating over 200,000 jobs. Under the collaboration with Eartholeum
Networks Limited, one hundred persons have been trained on the use
of mobile phones to conduct financial transactions. Twenty states
were selected under this collaboration and one hundred people were
trained at the rate of five participants per state. The selected states
were: Abia, Adamawa, Abuja, Bauchi, Benue, Cross River, Ekiti, Enugu,
Imo, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kwara, Lagos, Niger, Ondo, Oyo, Rivers,
Sokoto and Yobe. Beneficiaries under this scheme are known as
NDE/QikQik Agents.
On the other hand, in the collaboration with Cards Technology Limited,
one hundred participants were trained in both Lagos and Abuja at the
rate of fifty participants per centre. In collaborating with these
organisations, the NDE aims at being in the forefront of the mobile
banking business in Nigeria. The beneficiaries under this arrangement
are known as NDE/EasyBiz Agents.
The NDE/QikQik Scheme training took place simultaneously at the
NYSC Orientation Camps in Kaduna and Abia states between the 6th
and 9th of June 2011. On the other hand, the training for the
NDE/EasyBiz Scheme took place at two centres namely Lagos State and
Abuja. The training at the Abuja centre took place between the 2nd and
4th of November 2011 while the training in Lagos was held between
the 9th and 11th of November 2011.
These platforms- QikQik Mobile Money and EasyBiz systems were
created to enhance the access of the average Nigerian to financial
services. This is expected to be achieved through delivering financial
services to millions of Nigerians by bringing banking services to their
doorsteps using Agent Bankers. An agent banker delivers financial
services using non-bank retail outlets that rely on technologies such as
Point of Sale (POS) terminals and/or mobile phones. The services
rendered by these mobile banking agents include:-
a. Money transfer
b. Cash deposit and withdrawal services
c. Micro insurance agency
d. Utility bill payments
e. Vending of airtime and mobile phone top-up
f. Commercial call service
g. Mobile phone battery charging service
h. Home power system battery charging service
i. Passport photo shop
j. courier service collection centre
k. Lottery ticket dispenser
l. Issuance of transportation tickets, sports show tickets
m. Payment acceptor for mobile phones. The POS terminals accept
payments when the phone is used as mobile money wallets.
n. E-wallet payment scheme for disbursement of funds
c. Special EDP for YOUWIN Competition
His Excellency, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan launched the Youth
Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria, YOU WIN project on the 11th of
October 2011. The project is expected to create about 50,000 new jobs
and 6,000 young entrepreneurs within the next three years. The
competition is expected to be held annually over the next three years
and the winning entry will be a mix of start-ups and existing enterprises
that are looking to expand, while final awards will be a gradation of
from N1m to N10m with the awards categories being Best
Innovator/New Idea, Best Product, Best Business Plan, Best Corporate
Social Responsibility and Best Overall Entrant.
In a bid to ensure that NDE-SYOB beneficiaries qualify and win the
competition, the Department organized a 5-day refresher training
from October 27th to November 4th 2011 at the NDE Resource centre
Abuja. A total number of 100 participants took part in the training.
Participants were made to go through selected topics of the SYOB
training. Each participant has since submitted a feasibility report on-
line according to the requirement of the programme to YOUWIN office
for evaluation.
d. Entrepreneurship Development Training And Enterprise
Creation Programme
The SSE Department conducted the training of one hundred and
twenty (120) graduates at the rate of twenty (20) graduates per state
in six selected states in the 2nd quarter of 2011. The states are Sokoto,
Oyo, FCT, Gombe, Bayelsa and Anambra. Of this number, seven
graduates per state were retrained for two days at two centres- Ibadan
and Kaduna. The feasibility reports of the beneficiaries were appraised
and forty-five of them found worthy have been resettled with a loan
of seven hundred thousand (N700,000.00) each. Thus a total of
N31,500,000.00 (thirty-one million, five hundred thousand naira only)
disbursed as loan to the 45 beneficiaries in six states by the NDE.
Another cycle of training was conducted on Advanced EDP using the
currently revised training manuals and modules. Five (5) graduates per
state were selected from Abia, Adamawa, Edo, Bauchi, Katsina, Kogi
and Ondo states. A total of thirty-five (35) graduates were involved.
This training is a follow-up on the SYOB training before these graduates
can access loans under the Enterprises Creation Fund of the
Department. The training took place from the 7th to 9th December 2011
in Lokoja, Kogi State.
At the end of the training, the participants were documented in their
various states and each of the beneficiaries was resettled with a loan
package of six hundred and eighty thousand naira (N680,000) to
enable them establish their own enterprises. Thus a total loan package
of N23,800,000.00 (twenty-three million eight-hundred thousand
naira only) to set up thirty-five enterprises.
e. Start Your Own Business Loan Disbursement
Under this, a total of N22.4 million was disbursed in March 2011 to 109
projects in ten (10) states of the Federation. The states are Bauchi,
Lagos, Yobe, Cross River, Ondo, Katsina, Kano, Abia, Osun and Kaduna

WEB
(i) To initiate and implement gender specific schemes and
programmes that provides direct delivery assistance to
women.
(ii) To identify any factor(s) that might hinder the full
participation of women in the programmes of the Directorate
and to ensure that all programmes give adequate attention to

(iii) To liaise with women organization both government and non-
governmental concerned with the involvement of women in
employment and income generating activities and in all issues
of concern to women’s welfare in general.
B. Activities/Achievements
The Women Employment Branch (WEB), trained women in all the
states and the FCT to acquire various skills in different trades to
empower them towards being self employed. Some of the trainings
were done in collaboration with other agencies were in the
following trades:
i. Event management
ii. Interior Decoration
iii. Creative dress making
iv. Fondant cake decoration
v. Beads making and arrangement
vi. Hat making
vii. Confectionaries
viii. Batik and tie and dye
ix. Body decoration( kunshi)
x. Danbun nama
xi. Knitting
xii. Basket weaving
In the course of the training it was discovered that the women are
so interested in event management, interior decoration, fondant
cake decoration, confectionaries and tie and dye. This is possibly
because of the trend of occasions that are associated with those
trades.
c. Training of WEB State officers on Micro-Loan Disbursement
and Recovery Guidelines
In the beginning of 2011 the Loan Disbursement and Recovery
Strategies were reviewed and training for WEB officers nation-wide
was conducted in Minna, Niger State on 16th of June, 2011.
The training was to acquaint the officers with the new guidelines for
the new Micro Loan Scheme disbursement and recovery introduced
in the Branch as well as familiarize them with the new modalities
and guidelines involved in the programme delivery.
d. Micro-Loan Disbursement
Between July and December 2011, 12 states benefitted from this
new micro Loan Scheme. Between fifteen (15) and twenty nine (29)
women have benefitted with amounts ranging from ten thousand
Naira (N10,000) to thirty thousand Naira (30,000) in each of the
twelve states.
As required by the guidelines of the Micro-Loan Scheme, the loan
granted is to be repaid within one year. Thus paid weekly
repayment plan based on amount agreed by the beneficiaries in
fifty two weeks was agreed mutually. The recovery rate reflected in
the loan unit show an appreciable repayment rate.

3.5 COLLABORATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES 1. Collaboration WITH National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
a) NYSC EDP Sensitization
The NYSC EDP sensitizations usually takes place at the respective NYSC
Orientation Camps in all states of the Federation and FCT with the
objective of sensitizing graduates of tertiary institutions to the
existential realities of the Nigerian Labour Market and thereby
encourage them to opt for self-employment.
In the period under review 133,061 NYSC Corps members were
sensitized to opt for self-employment in the 36 states and FCT.
b) NDE/NYSC Cooperative Ventures
The scheme is aimed at encouraging serving NYSC corps members to
go into self-employment ventures. It involved training corps members
to write and submit feasibility study reports of projects they intend to
undertake during the course of their service year. Upon evaluation,
those projects found to be viable are funded from a pool of funds set
aside by the NYSC for that purpose. The 13th Edition of the NYSC
Cooperative Ventures took place between the 2nd and 7th of October
2011 at NYSC Orientation camps located at Delta, Osun, Kaduna and
Nasarawa States.
In the period under review, three hundred and seventy (370) serving
corps members were trained under the scheme. Of this number,
seventy-eight (78) Corps members were granted loans to establish
their enterprises.
2. CBN Entrepreneurship Development Council
During the period, the department attended a meeting of CBN Entrepreneurship Development Council (EDC) in Awka, Anambra State. At the meeting, decisions were taken on various activities of the
EDCs and reports on the centres were received. The council decided to pay courtesy visits to all the CEOs of the Council’s members at a later date to be communicated.
3. Collaboration With ISL Technologies And Eziaha Nigeria Limited
The Department entered into a working collaboration with the above
companies in the area of Information and Communication Technology
for NDE’s entrepreneurs. According to working collaboration, NDE’s
entrepreneurs will be trained in Web design, e-commerce, and
International Financial Reporting System (IFRS) among others.
4. Collaboration with The Office of the Vice President of the Federal
Republic Of Nigeria
Following the discussions on creating jobs held with the Office of the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. Muhammad Namadi Sambo, the SSE Department proposed to execute a training and resettlement programme for 200 unemployed persons in Kaduna State. This is one of the ways of bringing the programmes of the Directorate to the constituency of the Vice President of Nigeria. The programme will cover three (3) components as follows:-
Counseling and Value Re-orientation
Business /Entrepreneurial and Vocational training
Post-training Empowerment – disbursement of start-up capital
and resettlement packs.
The programme is set to commence in the first quarter of 2012
SECTION FOUR
4.0 Training for Rural Employment and Development Programme
In a bid to awaken the interest of the unemployed persons in agriculture in order
to exploit the tremendous opportunities for employment and wealth creation in the
sector and consequently, stem the rural-urban drift of the youths, the NDE
designed a training programme for the unemployed in the agricultural sector. The
training programme covers modern agricultural practices in the areas of crop
production, livestock management, crop processing among others.
The schemes under REP include;
a) Rural Agricultural Development and Training Scheme (RADTS);
b) Rural Handcraft Training Scheme (RHTS);
c) Integrated Farming Training Scheme (IFTS)
4.1 Rural Agricultural Development and Training Scheme:
The RADTS essentially adopts an integrated theoretical/hands – on training
methodology in agricultural production and management, with a view of building
the capacity in the rural populace. This entails the establishment of Agricultural
Skill Training Centres(ASTCs), acquisition of hectares of underdeveloped land in
the rural areas for demonstration and procurement of training materials. The
target group which are mostly school levers are meant to undergo training in areas
of agricultural practice for a period of four months.
The training is carried out in two phases:
Phase 1:This involve tutorials and hands-on training in Agricultural Skills Training
Centres (ASTS) established in collaboration with State and Local Government
Authorities for a duration of three months.
Phase 2:The last one month consist of an intensive industrial attachment period
during which trainees are posted to some selected indigenous entrepreneurs and
government farms that are actively engaged in agro/agro-allied ventures to
augment – skills acquired in ASTCs.
4.2 Rural Handicraft Training scheme:
The RHTS is another scheme aimed at enhancing the standard of living of the
rural populace through wealth creation. The scheme seeks to train rural farmer
– participants in various off-farm income generating activities in the production
and marketing of handicraft using locally sourced raw materials. This scheme
is usually implemented during the off-farm periods and last for four months per
cycle.
4.3 Integrated Farming and Training Scheme:
The IFTS is an all-embracing agricultural training scheme designed to generated
employment for interested unemployed graduates of tertiary institutions and
retirees through livestock farming, crop processing and arable farming.An
integrated farm allows the farmers to convert crop plants residues as well as an
un-graded grains to prepare animal feeds, while the animal stock residue is used
in compost preparation to provide organic manure for field crop production which
in turn sustains crop processing.
The scheme derives its concept from mixed farming projects where crop and
animals are produced concurrently. It is rural focused and is aimed at enhancing
and sustaining self employment and job creation for the rural unemployed.
4.4 Activities and Achievements
The REP Department undertook several activities during the period under review
towards achieving its planned targets. The main area covered includes
preparatory activities for successful implementation of RADTS, IFTS and Post-
RADTS training.
4.4.1 Rural Agricultural Development and Training Scheme:
In the year 2011, the first cycle of RADTS commenced between June and July,
2011 in the 36 states and FCT. The training programme recorded unprecedented
turn-out of participants. This could be attributed to the implementation of the
stimulus package resettlement scheme in 2010.
The 22 states and FCT with Agricultural Skills Training Centres (ASTCs)
conducted their training within the ASTCs, while 14 states without ASTCs carried
out their training at Alternative Training Centre (ATCs). On completion of the
theoretical / classroom training, the participants were attached with reputable
agricultural organizations, institutions and enterprise for exposure to the
rudiments of agricultural operations.
A total of 3973 participants were trained nationwide. The scheme recorded more
male participants than female. States like Jigawa and Zamfara had no female
participants. Edo and Ekiti States recorded the highest number of
participants.(Table 11) . The Agricultural skills taught in RADTS are crop
processing, poultry production,crop production etc.
4.4.2 Post RADTS Training
A total of six states namely, Nasarawa, Katsina, Cross River, Ondo, Kogi and
Niger States participated in the post RADTS training . However, four states were
used as pilot states, each state having 25 participants, who under-went intensive
hands-on training and assessed on two RADTS course domains viz:catfish
fingerling production,for Northern states and seedling multiplication training for
two southern states respectively.
Thus, a total of 150 participants took part in post RADTS nationwide in 2011,
4.4.3 Integrated Farming Training Scheme
The IFTS was formally launched in Katsina State by the Director-General of the
NDE during the review period. The official flagged off of the scheme was
witnessed by representative of the Executive Governor of Katsina State and some
members of the State Executive Council. A total of 12 selected participants
benefited from the scheme. Each of the participant collected a loan package of
N400,000.00 for investment in poultry/arable crop farming.

SECTION FIVE
5.0 TRAINING IN PUBLIC AND LABOUR BASED WORKS
Training in public and labour works is implemented by the department
Special Public Works Department (SPW).
Special Public Works Department (SPW) as one of the four core
programme departments of NDE uses its labour base and other
transient jobs schemes under it to bring unemployment in the country
to the barest minimum.
Basically, the department indulges in the use of the International
Labour Organization (ILO) systems of labour-based light equipment
supported method for construction and maintenance of both urban and
rural infrastructure in Nigeria which before now depended on heavy
capital-intensive equipment.
Graduate unemployment in the country is being tackled through the
provision of transient job opportunities to graduates of tertiary
institutions in order to expose them to more practical aspects of their
disciplines and work experience and to facilitate their absorption into
the labour markets.
The following schemes / strategies are also adopted by the department
because of their high employment potentials:
(a) Community Development Scheme (CDS)- The engagement of the youths in Community Development on transient employment basis in collaboration with Local Governments and communities. (b) Environmental Beautification Training Scheme (EBTS)- The engagement of the idle youths in providing aesthetics to the urban areas and cities for sustainable living.
5.1 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SCHEME (CDS) / LABOUR
BASED TECHNIQUE
The Community Development Scheme is one of the strategies adopted
by the department to generate mass employment at community levels
in collaboration with benefiting communities. The cost of the project is
shared between NDE and host communities. The labour is readily
available from the abundant unemployed persons in the community for
the proposed infrastructural development by employing the SPW labour
based techniques. The choice of activities and ownership of the
projects lie with the communities. This is to ensure sustainability and
maintenance.
The scheme was executed in Ekiti State only within the year with a
total of 26 persons benefiting during the year.
5.2 GRADUATE ATTACHMENT PROGRAMME (GAP)
Due to lack of cognate experience required for employment by both
public and private sector organizations, most fresh graduates of tertiary
institution find it difficult to secure job opportunities in these sectors.
The GAP scheme considers therefore this gap and thus provides the
graduates of tertiary institutions with necessary practical skills in
companies, industries and government establishments by matching
their disciplines to the services that are needed.
Temporary job opportunities are therefore provided by attaching
recruited graduates to NDE sourced outlets for a period of six months
to enable them acquire the needed work experience and develop
professional skills that would place them at advantageous position to
get good jobs or go into self-employment in their areas of competences.
The programme however is becoming more attractive since most of the
graduates are retained at the end of the attachment. More often than
not, very many organizations have taken the programme as a
resourceful avenue to locate the best candidates for particular jobs in
their organizations.
In 2011 a total of 3,782 unemployed graduates of tertiary institutions
in the areas of Engineering, Building/Environmental and Humanity /
Social Sciences made up of 3,295 graduates (HND and above) and 487
non graduates (NCE and ND) benefited from the programme in 36
States of the Federation and FCT Abuja.
5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL BEAUTIFICATION TRAINING
SCHEME (EBTS)
The scheme is designed to provide employment through the
enhancement of the aesthetic views and beautification of our cities,
towns and homes. It involves construction or modification of parks and
gardens, tree planting along major roads / streets, beautification of
roundabouts, making and laying herbs, etc. The beneficiaries are also
trained in the art of horticulture, production of landscaping materials
etc. They are supported to establish plant nurseries where people could
buy ornamented flowers / orchids and to undertake other small
businesses.
A total of 998 unemployed persons benefited from the scheme in 36
States and FCT during the year under review.
5.4 RE-NEWABLE ENERGY TRAINING SCHEME (RETS)
The traditional energy production through hydro, thermal and
Generator sets cannot afford much needed energy the country requires
due to high technological activities involved. The demand for energy in
Nigeria has grown so tremendously that other sources of energy need
to be sought to augment what is available and not enough.
NDE sought for other means of energy production therefore and
adopted Renewable Energy Training Scheme (RETS) as one of its
strategies for employment generation. Under the scheme unemployed
graduates of tertiary institution are trained in the Solar and Wind Energy
generation from the abundant natural sunlight and wind waves.
Solar Energy Training Scheme (SETS) and Wind Energy Training
Scheme (WETS) equip unemployed graduates with skills for different
ways of energy production that can be transmitted and distributed for
sustainable self-reliance and to improve electricity power generation for
economic development in the country.
The RETS Scheme was implemented in FCT, Benue and Taraba States
in the year under review and a total of 134 unemployed graduates
benefited from the scheme. This is only in Solar Energy Training
scheme.

SECTION SIX
NDE SCORECARD @ TWENTY-FIVE
Employment problem has become one of the key issues in the challenging
agenda of most modern governments. Development experience the world
over, has indicated that economc progress may not automatically translate
into job opportunities and / or poverty reduction especially among such groups
as the youths , disabled, retired but active persons and women/ the vulnerable.
It would be recalled that the global economic recession of the 80s and
implementation of some economic reforms policies of currency devaluation,
deregulation, trade liberalization, privatization,and the entronment of market
forces , all of which resulted in the lowering of capacity utilization in industries,
the collapse of various businesses , and massive staff rationalization in both
government and private agencies worsen the problem of unemployment in
the country.
Mostly affected were relatively unskilled primary and secondary school leavers
between the ages of 13-25 years , who constitute 70% of the unemployed.
Graduate unemployment , which in the decades of 60’s and 70’s was
unnoticed, also emerged during the period and was growing rapidly.
The social repercussions of this high level of unemployment were manifested
by rise in juvenile delinquency and anti-social behaviours like armed robbery,
prostitution and a general state of insecurity.
It was against the above background that Nigeria unemployment was viewed
as posing a potential danger to the socio-political and economic system.
Government , therefore took a decision to address the problem through a
permanent institutional mechanism and hence the establishment of the
National Directorate Of Employment in November,1986. The Directorate’s
enabling Act, CAP 250 of the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , 1999
gave the NDE her legal backing as an employment agency statutorily charged
with the responsibility” to design and implement programmes to combat mass
unemployment “.
On November,2011,the Directorate clocked 25 years of existence as the
apex agency statutorily charged by mandate to generate employment. The
guiding philosophy was self employment rather than paid employment.
The silver jubilee anniversary was marked with the underlisted activities, viz:
i)Interfaith prayers
ii)Job fair – A collaboration between NDE and New Horizon
iii)Anniversary Lecture
iv)Launching of Easy Biz Ecosystem
v)Silver jubilee exhibition
vi)Projects inspection in FCT and environs
Vii)Award and Gala Night
viii)Novelty football match
The 5-day celebration started with Interfaith prayer which was anchored by the
Deputy Chief Iman of Abuja and a member of Christian Association of Nigeria
(CAN) at the Women Development Centre,Abuja. New Horizon, an ICT firm in
collaboration with NDE mounted Job fair,a sensitization and Awareness
programme on ICT for 2000 unemployed graduates.
An anniversary lecture captioned “Job creation in a Globalised world :Issues and
Challenges” was delivered by Professor Murtala S. Sagagi, Director, Centre for
African Entrepreneurship Research and Training, Bayero University, Kano. The day
also witnessed the launching of Easy biz scheme, a platform meant to create jobs
for unemployed graduates and enhance the access of an averge Nigerian to
financial services.
The silver jubilee celebration was rounded up with award and gala night, and
novelty football match. The novelty match was between the managements of
NDE and National Productivity Centre.
The award and gala night had in attendance past Ministers of Labour and
Productivity as well as erstwhile Director-Generals of NDE, who were honoured
for their immense contributions towards the actualization of the Directorate’s
mandate. Staff who had distinguished themselves in the discharged of their
duties were also honoured.
During the review period a total of three million,six hundred and seventy –
five thousand, three hundred and eleven (3,675,311) jobs were created. Other
landmark achievements are the construction/rehabilitation of 49 vocational
skill centres in different parts of the country. Also worthy of mentioning is
construction of 25 Agricultural Skill Training Centres.
