CHAPTER ONE

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background Of Study

Before the present administration came into the affairs of the state, unemployment has acquired the notorious status of one of the problem which requires solution by the government.

The problem became compounded in the second half of the 1970s when the government of the day enlarged the presence of unemployment in the society by employment on massive retrenchment exercise (NDE 1992).

That was why the former president of Nigerian, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babaginda’s administration is his administration transition programme tries to address this issue in the concept of mass mobilization for economic recovery self reliance and social justice (MAMSER).

For the fact that the federal government beefed up the federal ministry of labour or international labour organization (ILO) to include among other. He national directorate of employment shows that they have prepared themselves to tackle the unemployment issue.

The directorates has their primary functions as creating job for the jobless who are willing to do the job. The main concern here is to explore the efforts of Imo state government in fighting this unemployment issues in our country through the national directorate of employment.

The national directorate of employment (NDE) philosophy is the creation of self employment with emphasis one self reliance and entrepreneurship under their four core programme which were initiate to extricate our youths from the unemployment queue and to reoriented the paid employment to self employment.

Lately, the NDE operation underwent fundamental redirection which is meant to enable shake off, the opportunities and some other unserious applicants, for instance a strategic review it training programme shows that most of the trainces were more interested in the N50 monthly stippened to them than in acquiring useful skills.

Hence, the NDE abolish this stippened payment in 1991. The saving accruing thereby are now invested in training programmes and also to provide take off support for dutiful trainces at the end of the training period. In certain urban areas of Imo state the educated youths tends to congregate, the rate unemployment was especially high, running to over 40% also in the rural areas of Imo state, the unemployment rate was not less because the youths and gradates were the highest hit in this. With growing joblessness among the youth there was also a growing dependency rate to the side of the parents.

The ex-president Babangida in his 1991 budget speech directed the directors body to change with the establishment and to concentrated its efforts, on the reactivation of public works, promotion of direct labour and self employment organization of artisan into cooperative societies and encouragement and of culture of maintenance and report.

For board of directorate to ensure proper implementation of the directives, they articulated four practical programmes nationwide, each operation as a separate department from the other and these are: −

National youth employment and vacation skills development programme.
Small scale industries and graduate employment programmes.
Agricultural sector employment programmes.
Special public work programmes (NDF)

These programmes are backed by this necessary administrative monitoring and support personnel, thus enabling optimum use resources are prompt response to the requirement of the public we serve.

NDE was designed to utilize valuable mane power resources in carrying out the necessary public work using labour intensive technological techniques and to enable the participation obtained short term employment while acquiring new skills and trade experience. Farmer should develop their resources in such a way that it would become possible for the well being of the immediate family in particular and nation in general.

The fact here is that while the farmers is striving to improve the harvest from his farms, the government through agencies provides their facilities that would enable the farmers process and market his products. While one is thinking of good access road, improved transportation system electricity, and all such infrastructure that would maximize the uses of the harvested products, a self reliance engineer would find pride into the field to practice theories and formulate what he had acquired in the comfort of air conditioned farming.

Unemployment could take many forms such as frictional, structural, seasonal and cyclical, because of this different levels of unemployment, an economy particularly of market economy cannot be without some level of unemployment for instance fictional unemployment result where people change jobs though it transient, within this period the person is switching job he could be classified as unemployed.

Structural unemployment occurs when people loose their jobs because of structural changes in the economy.

On the other hand seasonal unemployment occurs due to seasonal variation in weather, this is mainly the feature of agranance economy where activities are very much affected by seasons while cyclical unemployment result from fluctuation in economic activities (business cycle) it rises during a boom.

The effect of unemployment could be macro or micro. Its macro effect include producing on a very low production possibilities curve, balance of payment disequilibrium (deficit) as well as include financial hardship to the families involved, psychological effect (depression) on the individuals and increase in crime rates such as stealing, association and prostitution.

Some people has claimed that the directorates has been able to reduce the rate of unemployment among graduate and school leavers to 60% from original 80% before the conception of NDE 1986. In spite of the promises made by the NDE in 1987 to create technical jobs for Nigerian, which is twenty five years now the rates of those who have been waiting for the NDE has increased.
