The Federal Government says it is ready to create 490,000
jobs through Smart Farmer Scheme to enable youths to maximise productivity in
agricultural value chain.
It added that the
scheme was meant to diversify the country’s economy and make agriculture
lucrative to Nigerians.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris
Ngige, said this in Lagos during the National Directorate of Employment Special
Day, a statement said on Wednesday.
He said the government, through the NDE, had inaugurated the
Smart Farmer ICT platform in Abuja, assuring the public that the government
would not relent in its efforts in designing relevant and sustainable schemes
to create jobs.
