FORWARD
The year 2016 marked the thirtieth year (30 years) of the National Directorate of Employment [NDE’s] existence as Nigeria’s Apex “Employment Generating Agency”, having been established in 1986 through Act of Parliament, Act, CAP 250, Section 2, of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN), 1999.
The year 2016 witnessed tremendous economic challenges in the history of Nigeria as a result of fall in the oil prices leading to dwindling government revenue amidst inflationary trends, security challenges, unemployment, amongst others.
Despite all these developments, the NDE continued to sustain the drive of the the fight against unemployment through promotion of self – employment initiatives to achieve the vision of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan(ERGP) of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, administration of Inclusive Growth, Investing in our People, Job Creation and Youth Empowerment. Against these background, the NDE was able to record the following modest achievements in its various programmes:
Training in Skills Acquisition - Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (B-NOAS) 10,891 - Community Based Training Scheme (CBTS) 2,173 - School On Wheels/School to Work Training Scheme 1,267 - Partnership in Skills Training/Artisans Resettlement & Mentoring 1,814 - Rural Agricultural Development Training Scheme (RADTS) 1,356 - Off Season Agricultural Producing Training Scheme (OSAPTS) 36- Environmental Beautification Training Scheme (EBTS) 915 - Water Catchment Training Scheme (WCTS) 244 - Concrete Well and Water Training Scheme (CWWTS) 25 Sub-total 18,928
Training in Entrepreneurship - Enterprise Start-Up and Development Training Scheme 900 - Women Employment Programme 1,412 Sub-total 2,312
10
Transient/Labour Based Jobs - Graduate Attachment Programme (GAP) 1,604 - Graduate Coaching Scheme (GCS) 1,315 Sub-Total 2,919
Enterprises Created Enterprise Creation Fund 9 Resettlement Loan Scheme 1,745
Sub - total 1,754
Employment Counseling Services 15,958 Grand Total = 41,871
A cursory look at the figures presented above shows about 23.47% reduction in achievements recorded in the previous year, 2015. This could be attributed to the level of budget performance for 2016 due to harsh economic environment and dwindling government revenues to implement employment programmes especially for an economy in recession.
The institutional support of our collaborating agencies, public and private provided the impetus to implement job creation activities towards empowering unemployed youths in various skills for self - employment. Some of the institutional collaborating agencies includes but not limited to the followings: National Planning Commission (NPC), Federal Ministry of Finance (YESSO Unit), Federal Public Administration Reform Programme Nigeria (FEPAR), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and many NGOs, FBOs etc. Members of the National Assembly in particular collaborated with the NDE to take various community development programmes to their respective communities and constituencies.
11
Finally, I wish to acknowledge the efforts of the Federal Government in its desire to fight unemployment especially through the following initiatives: Central Bank of Nigeria Anchor Borrowers Programme, Nigeria Social Investment Fund, Youth Employment and Social Support Operations via skills for job, public workfare, targeted cash transfer and social safety net, massive investment in agriculture, fight against corruption and insecurity, etc.
Sincerely, I hope that this report will provide the needed information and secondary data to all employment stakeholders, organizations, interest groups, students, researchers and others that may want a documented effort of the Federal Government of Nigeria in fighting unemployment and promoting wealth creation as part of achieving the vision of ERGP.

SECTION ONE
1.0 BRIEF ON NATIONAL DIRECTORATE OF EMPLOYMENT (NDE)
1.1 INTRODUCTION The Federal Government’s desire to handle the social repercussions of high level of unemployment in the country in 1985 led to the setting up of a committee known as the CHUKWUMA COMMITTEE. The committee was charged with the responsibility “to design strategies that will create mass employment opportunities in the country.” The committee identified from survey that the informal sector whose employee profile are characterized largely by low skilled, semi-skilled or unskilled labour, accounted for up to 90% of the workers distributed unevenly in agriculture and other self-employment ventures. Their findings led to the recommendation to Government for the establishment of an employment creation agency. This became absolutely necessary when graduate unemployment which hitherto was unnoticed, emerged and was growing rapidly.
Consequently, the Federal Government approved the establishment of the NATIONAL DIRECTORATE OF EMPLOYMENT (NDE) on 26th March, 1986 but its programmes were launched nationwide in January, 1987.
The NDE’s enabling Act, CAP 250 of the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (formerly Decree No. 34 of 1989) gave the NDE her legal backing as an employment agency statutorily charged with the responsibility to design and implement programmes to combat mass unemployment.
To further enhance and streamline the strategies of the NDE in mass job generation, a committee, the AHMED JODA COMMITTEE of 1999 streamlined the activities of the various Poverty Alleviation Agencies in the country. Thus NDE’s activities were streamlined and made to focus mainly on training for job generation with resettlement limited to only symbolic to test the efficacy of her training activities.
1.2 MANDATE/FUNCTIONS OF THE NDE The law establishing the NDE presents its mandated as follows: i. To design and implement programmes to combat mass unemployment;
ii. To articulate policies aimed at developing work programmes with labour intensive potentials;
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 sections of the enabling ACT. The NDE therefore derives its
23
routine functions from this mandate. The main goal therefore is to combat mass unemployment through skills acquisition, self-employment and labour-intensive work schemes.
1.3 NDE PROGRAMMES/IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES In designing the employment promotion programmes, the National Directorate of Employment took cognizance of the following factors:
i) The declining interest of youths in the agricultural sector which had traditionally provided the bulk of employment, particularly in the rural areas.
ii) The deteriorating condition of urban and rural infrastructure due to the dearth of foreign exchange earnings to procure and maintain construction machinery and equipment as against the surplus labour (unemployed hands) available in the country.
iii) The tertiary institutions graduates’ expectation for non-existent white collar jobs and accompanying employment while their background do not prepare them to take advantage of the opportunities for self-employment in the formal and informal sectors of the economy.
iv) The potentials of the informal sector and the traditional apprenticeship system of skills acquisition to generate self - employment.
v) The need to counsel the unemployed for attitudinal re-orientation towards self- employment and self-reliance.
In recognition of the foregoing factors and the distinct target group (unemployed school leavers and graduates), the National Directorate of Employment adopted the following areas of intervention which make up the four core programmes:
1.4 VOCATIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT(VSD) PROGRAMME The Vocational Skills Development (VSD) programme of the National Directorate of Employment involves the use of informal sector operators such as master crafts-men and women as training outlets for unskilled school leavers. Such school leavers are attached to them for periods long enough for the apprentice to acquire necessary skills.
It also includes the deployment of well-equipped mobile workshops to train unemployed youths in rural areas where informal training outlets are non-existent to support qualitative experiential skills training. To date, the training covers several vocational trades across all sectors of the economy. The schemes under the Vocational Skills Development Programme are
a) National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (Basic and Advanced) b) School-on-wheels
24
c) Vocational Skills for Physically challenged and vulnerable persons d) Partnership in Skills Training (PIST) e) Resettlement Loan Scheme.
1.5 SMALL SCALE ENTERPRISES PROGRAMME (SSE) The Business training programme provided by the National Directorate of Employment covers several areas of business development for various categories of unemployed persons and potential entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurship development programme introduces NYSC members to the opportunities for self-employment and identification of business opportunities as well as business start-up and improvement programmes for school leavers and retired persons.
The schemes under the SSE department where action are carried out nationwide (subject to availability of funds) are: a) Business Training - (for Graduates of tertiary institutions and artisans/school leavers and retirees (Entrepreneurship Development Programme - EDP). This include: i. Enterprise Start-up and development Training Scheme (formerly Start Your Own Business) ii. Micro Business Skills Training Scheme (formerly Basic Business Training) iii. Advanced Entrepreneurial Development Scheme iv. NDE-Enterprise and Finance Counseling Clinic (NDE-efcc) b) Loans Disbursement Schemes – Enterprise Creation Fund c) Training for Women in Income Generating Activities d) Common Facility Centres, and e) Collaborations with Government Agencies, Multinational Organizations, high profile individuals and communities.
1.6 RURAL EMPLOYMENT PROMOTION PROGRAMME (REP) In a bid to awaken the interest of the unemployed youths in agriculture 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 special training programme for youths in agriculture. The training programme covers modern agricultural practices in the areas of crop production, livestock management, crop processing, etc. The schemes operational nationwide under REP include:
Rural Agricultural Development Training Scheme (RADTS) Rural Handicraft Training Scheme (RHTS) Integrated Farming Training Scheme (IFTS) Post-RADTS Training Scheme
25
NDE Agricultural Park Project. To enhance the quality of training under the RADTS, the NDE commenced the establishment of Agricultural Skills Training Centres. At present, about 28 centres have been established with 20 fully operational. The remaining 8 centres are at various stages of completion. Each of these centres has accompanying Demonstration Farms.
1.7 SPECIAL PUBLIC WORK PROGRAMME (SPW) The construction and maintenance of both 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 and graduate and school leaver unemployment constituted no threat to the nation.
The NDE therefore views infrastructural construction and maintenance as capable of becoming a labour sponge. The International Labour Organization (ILO) subsequently introduced to the NDE the use of labour based light equipment method of construction and maintenance of rural infrastructure. This was pilot-tested successfully by the NDE and was adopted as an effective employment strategy. In general, the operational schemes under the SPW are: a) Graduate Attachment Programme (GAP) b) Environmental Beautification Training Scheme (EBTS) c) Community Development Scheme (CDS) d) Renewable Energy Development Training Scheme (RETS) e) Graduate Coaching Scheme f) Special Public Works Housing Scheme
Other strategies the Directorate adopts in tackling unemployment in the country include:
1.8 EMPLOYMENT COUNSELING SERVICES AND JOB LINKAGES The Employment counseling services and Job Linkages was designed 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 Job Centers thus serve as the gateway to all NDE programmes and schemes, provide Employment Counseling services such as vocational guidance, value reorientation, and pre- participation induction. The centres register, orientate and counsel unemployed youths before business start up or training. Also the Job Centres collaborates with Mentor office and NBS to generate, collate, and maintain all relevant data on employment.
26
The centres 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.
This service is available in all the 36 NDE State and FCT offices of the NDE, serving as the “gate-way” into all NDE schemes.
1.9 COLLABORATION WITH AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS In other to effectively discharge its mandate and functions, 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 years include – National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), National Planning Commission (NPC), NAPEP, ILO, GTZ, National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), NERFUND, State and Local Governments, Local Communities, Prominent individuals/organizations, National Assembly Members, 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.
1.10 ESTABLISHMENT OF MODERN VOCATIONAL SKILLS ACQUISITION CENTRES From the inception of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) the vocational skills acquisition initiative of the Directorate relied strongly on the use of master craftsmen and women within the informal sector for the purpose of delivering vocational training to recruited trainees. This system in itself has a number of shortcomings, principal among which are the issues of quality, standards, uniform curriculum and possible certification. In 2008, NDE began to chart a new course in its efforts at raising the standards, quality and global acceptance/application of the skills of its beneficiaries by bridging the earlier mentioned gaps. This culminated in the design of skills acquisition centres to be owned and ran by the Directorate. With support from the MDG Office under the Debt Relief Gains (DRG) programme, the first set of skills acquisition centres were established through the renovation and equipping of disused public structures.
Driven by the desire to deepen and consolidate on the gains from the establishment of the first set of 18 Skills Acquisition Centres, the NDE conceived and began the construction of more Skills Acquisition Centres in some states in Nigeria. This concept is to provide a near perfect teaching and learning environment complete with boarding facilities suitable for skills acquisition and to serve as a model to other stakeholders in the fight against unemployment through skills acquisition.
27
As at end of 2016, the NDE has established a total of 74 centres in 28 States. Eight of these centres are Model Skills Acquisition Centres, provided with boarding facilities for both male and female trainees. Some are designed to provide both Vocational and Agricultural Skills training simultaneously.
The Centres have the capacity to handle about 200 trainees per training cycle. Each centre is equipped to train in at least five (5) trades from the following Vocational Skills:
1. Auto-tronics (Advanced Auto- Mechanics) 2. Computer Operations and Engineering 3. Welding and Fabrication 4. Plumbing 5. Electrical Installation 6. GSM Handsets Repairs and 7. Fashion Designing
On the other hand, the Bwari (FCT) and Araromi-Asa (Kwara State) centres are provided with additional Agricultural skills training in the following skill sets:
1. Cattle Fattening 2. Grass Cutter Production 3. Sheep and Goat Rearing 4. Poultry Production 5. Dry Season Farming and 6. Crop Production and Processing 7. Fish farming
The remaining 67 centres are provided with facilities that impact vocational and technical skills in about 10 demand-driven skills.
For the NDE, this project is a realization of a dream to make qualitative skills acquisition a potent instrument for mass job creation and poverty reduction in Nigeria. While 47 had been completed and operational, 28 are at various stages of completion (renovation and furnishing).
1.11 STRUCTURE/ORGANOGRAM OF THE NDE At the apex of NDE’s organizational structure is the Management Board chaired by the Honourable Minister of Labour and Employment. While the Board is charged with the responsibility of policy formulation for the Directorate’s operations, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment serves as the supervising Ministry of the NDE.
The Directorate has four (4) core programmes departments. Five support service departments assist the programmes departments in ensuring that the mandate of the Directorate is adequately achieved. All the Nine (9) departments are headed by Directors
28
who report to the Director – General. 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 created. Each Zonal Office is manned by a Director on Grade Level 17.
NDE’s presence is established in all 36 states of the Federation and the FCT to implement programmes designed at the Headquarters. The State offices are manned by State Coordinators who are of the Deputy Directorate level on grade level 16 and are accountable to the Director General.
In order to have adequate grassroots impact and coverage in the discharge of its mandate, the NDE has Desk/Liaison Officers at the Local Government Council Areas, who ensure adequate coverage and implementation of all its employment generations schemes.
The programme and support services departments are complimented by divisions, branches and units to facilitate employment programme delivery. These programme and service departments, are replicated in all the 36 States offices and FCT. They are: i. PROGRAMME DEPARTMENTS Vocational Skills Development (VSD) Rural Employment Promotion (REP) Small Scale Enterprises (SSE) Special Public Works (SPW)
ii. SERVICE DEPARTMENTS Planning, Research and Statistics Human Resources Management Finance and Accounts Inspectorate Procurement
iii. DIVISIONS/BRANCHES/UNITS Job Centre Resource Centre & Library Women Employment Branch Information and Public Relations Internal Audit Loans, Properties and Utilities

2.0 VOCATIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT (VSD) DEPARTMENT
2.1 Introduction The Vocational Skills Development is one of the programme departments of the National Directorate of Employment which is primarily concerned with bequeathing veritable and marketable skills to the unemployed youths in the country. The skills acquisition training intervention, introduced as a novel approach in combating mass unemployment in the country has remained a veritable tool since the inception of the NDE in combating the menace of unemployment especially among our youths.
2.2 Objectives of the Department The Vocational Skills Development Programme of the NDE was designed to achieve the following objectives; a. To provide technical & vocational training for holders of Primary School Certificates, Secondary School Certificates, School dropouts and those with vertical literacy education. b. To equip the youths with such skills that will enable them to be self - employed or gain wage employment. c. To provide alternative employment opportunities for youths so that they form cooperatives and start their own businesses.
2.3 Strategies/Scheme In order to achieve the above objectives, the following strategies/schemes were adopted: 1. National Open Apprenticeship Scheme consisting: a. Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (B NOAS) b. Advanced National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (A NOAS)
2. School on Wheels Scheme (SOW) 3. Community-Based Training Scheme (CBTS) 4. Special Vocational Training for the “Persons with Special Needs” (Vulnerable Groups). 5. Resettlement Loan Scheme (RLS) 6. Partnership in Skills Training (PIST) 7. Artisans Resettlement And Mentoring Scheme (ARMS) 8. School To Work Training Scheme
2.4 National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (NOAS) The National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (NOAS) is one of the key schemes of the NDE with high mass employment potential. The scheme is targeted at unskilled and
unemployed youths both male and female to equip and up skill them with relevant demand driven skills.
The scheme is implemented at 2 levels namely: a. Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (B-NOAS) b. Advanced National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (A-NOAS)
a. Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (B-NOAS) The Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (B-NOAS) is designed to empower the unemployed and unskilled school leavers through skills training. The youths are recruited and posted to master craftsmen and women who are informal sectors operators for skills acquisition training. These trainers use their training facilities to impart skills to the unemployed youths with apprenticeship for period long enough for them to learn a particular skill. The scheme had a spill-over of 1,555 (Males – 1,209; Female – 346) from 2015 nationwide. These are trainees that will be completing their trainings in the first quarter of 2017.
In July, 2016, a total of 9,360 trainees were recruited into the same B-NOAS. These comprised 6,704 trainees recruited in 61 NDE Skills Acquisition Centres located in 21 States and 2,656 trainees recruited for the selected informal sector master craftsmen/women in the 15 States without skills acquisition centres and FCT Abuja. As at the end of 2016, a total of 8,503 trainees were still undergoing training in their various training outlets (Table 2.1).
