The Federal Government has assured unemployed youths in the country that over two million jobs will be created through the Ministry of Science and Technology cluster concept.
Minister of Science and Technology, Prof. Ita Ewa, who stated this at the 2011 ministerial briefing, said the job creation was aimed at fast-tracking development of rural communities in Nigeria.
The minister said: “The ministry has informed Mr. President on the use of cluster concept in developing our rural communities.
“The ministry will forward a council’s memo to the Federal Executive Council for approval. This project will eventually generate at least 2,000,000 jobs in many sectors of the economy, in 2011 and 2012 using the ministry’s incubation programme, industrial cluster programme, technology licensing and technology franchising.
”Beyond this, potential jobs to be created by the concept on incremental basis will net up to six million jobs through mainstream industrial activities and two million jobs through backward stream made up of primary producers of, and traders in, raw materials, farm gate processors, small scale miners, transporters of raw materials, providers of primary production inputs.
