“I know that the private sector is going to play key role in achieving this, so we’ll work together and for Ministry of Labour, we have different agencies and departments that have to do with employment skills, the established Labour Market Information System is to ensure that data is collected and alongside we’re actually going to improve on job matching on Nigeria electronic job exchange for job seekers.
