Osun APC advises unemployed youths on job opportunityby Adesoji Adeniyi, Osogbo, August 06, 2016 at 12:00 am
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has called on unemployed youths in the state to make use of job opportunity created for them by the state government.

In a statement by its Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Barr. Kunle Oyatomi, the party said the Rauf Aregbesola administration was “determined to assist in whatever way possible to reduce unemployment of youths in the state despite the difficult economic circumstance in the country.”

The party also advised unemployed youths in each local government to visit, register and submit their credentials in the newly created ‘Osun Job Centres’ that are being opened all over the state.

The party said: “This service will be provided free of charge. The job centre initiative marks the second phase of the government’s gainful employment policy that started in 2011 with the Osun Youths Empowerment Scheme (OYES) and other related policies.


“These policies have succeeded in providing employment to over 40, 000 young men and women as well as empowered scores of others to start up small business enterprises. But with this second phase initiative, Governor Rauf Aregbesola is demonstrating commitment to his developmental programme, notwithstanding that the current economic downturn continues to bite.”

It urged the prospective job seekers to maximise the service rendered by the centre, especially the advantage it affords them to look for jobs from their local government areas instead of roaming the streets.
