And despite the economy slipping twice into recession, the President ensured that no federal government employee lost his or her job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c Even while COVID-19 forced the entire world on bended knees and millions lost their jobs globally, the Federal Government shielded its workers. Notwithstanding the two-third federal staff strength at home, in conformity with COVID protocol, salaries were paid as and when due.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c Therefore, the Federal Government is concerned over the plight of workers, consequent upon the adverse effects of galloping inflation on salaries and wages. While this gale of inflation is a global phenomenon, and not restricted to Nigeria, we call for further understanding of workers as government plans an appropriate response. President Buhari has never failed Nigerian workers. Not now!<\/p>\n<p>On the growing unemployment rate, Senator Ngige said his Ministry has established a Labour Market Information System(LMIS) intended to generate, analyse and integrate job related data from all Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government, to enable the sector policy makers track labour market indicators and generate employments.<\/p>\n<p>He said focal officers who will be pivot of the scheme will be soon commence work in all the MDAs, adding that the synergy arising from the system will consolidate hitherto solo efforts and break new grounds in tackling the unemployment situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Labour and Employment has commended Nigerian workers operating under different unions for their immeasurable contributions to the sustenance of Nigeria\u2019s independence.
