FG Partners Firm for 10m Jobs

As part of efforts to create more jobs in Nigeria to tackle the growing scourge of unemployment, the Federal Government is partnering with Dermo Impex Nigeria limited, a subsidiary of an Italian firm, Dermo Impex, Italy, to create 10 million jobs in the country within eight years.

Dermo Impex Ltd Director of International Relations, Dr. Anthony Uwa who spoke with  journalists in Abuja said a system- Basic Registry and Information System in Nigeria (BRISIN) has been created to help achieve the ‘lofty aim.’

Uwa noted that his company’s involvement was to build a data base for proper record from the wards to the local governments to the state government and the Federal Government.

Proper information, he said,  would be the basis for the provision of infrastructure for national development.

“This infrastructure will be built from the wards to connect the local governments, networked to states and Federal Government. As soon as this system is put in place, we will know who is who, what everyone does and how to manage everything. We will now create a lot of economic activities, both small and medium scales. Nobody talks of employment without creating economic activities.”

Uwa disclosed that his firm was already working with the government to design the system which would ease the burden of ministries, parastatals and government agencies for their employment system.

“We will now create a lot of economic activities, both small and medium scales. Nobody talks of employment without creating economic activities.”

The system which would be implemented soon was set up 12 years ago and is expected to prevent fraud, forgery and other vices.

The government would also be able to effectively monitor tax payment by Nigerians as the records would be available on the system.
