Why FG Is Currently Not Employing, Ngige Reveals

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has explained why the federal government is currently not employing anybody into any of its ministries and agencies.

The former Anambra governor noted the reason was because of the economic situation of the country.

Ngige spoke on Saturday at his Abuja residence while receiving the Traditional Ruler of Nnewi town, Igwe Kenneth Orizu (III) who paid him a courtesy visit.

A statement on Sunday by Ngige Media office titled, ‘Why FG placed embargo on employment- Ngige’ disclosed that the delegation had earlier pleaded with the minister to help secure jobs for young graduates from the town.

Ngige in his response said, “The Federal Government (FG) placed embargo on employment because the economy is not in good shape. But, we have the Home Support Programmes like  Conditional Cash Transfer and others. Such money is meant for the poor in the society.

“I have been making sure that Nnewi town gets its due through my foot soldiers in the community. Nothing is too small but I assure you that we will do more.”

Ngige pledged to ensure that all Nigerians including Nnewi people, were given jobs when the Federal Government lifts the embargo on employment.

He also noted that a change of Management had taken place at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, and  assured that they were going to “put more interest in the hospital.”
