FORWARD

The National Directorate of Employment, NDE, has been in existence for twenty eight years as Nigeria’s apex Employment agency, having been established in 1986. It has a legal backing to pursue its role by a Parliament Act, CAP 250, section 2, of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999.

The NDE has vigorously pursued this mandate to the awe of her admirers and has continuously initiated noble ideas to review her Programmes to be in tandem with the dynamic nature of Global job and employment needs. This has partly enabled the NDE to stand the test of time thereby surviving various Government reviews of Poverty Alleviation initiatives.

One of these noble initiatives is the establishment of 74 skills acquisition centres, four out of which are model centres equipped with full boarding facilities. The nobility of some these centres has earned them the recognition to be tagged “miracle centres” by Elder Peter Kisira, the Deputy Governor of Kwara State during his visit to one of the model centre at Ararome, Kwara State when he was overwhelmed by the installed capacity of the centre.

Other organizations have expressed appreciation and commendations of the NDE’s fight against unemployed and have variously honoured the Directorate with various awards. The awards include:

One of the more outstanding public institutions in Nigeria 2013 to 2014 by the Independent Service Delivery Monitory Group (SDMG)

Most outstanding public institution in the Labour Judiciary and Interior Category Most outstanding public administrator (Service Delivery) in 2014 (To the DG) by

Disciples of Democracy Magazine (A Nigerian Parliamentary Journal) in collaboration with Frankfurt Global Week/African Business Week Conference in Frankfurt Germany

Despite the various ugly security challenges the country was faced with, which took unprecedented dimension in 2014, the NDE sustained its drive for the fight against unemployment and was able to achieve the following modest achievements in its various Programmes:

Training in Skills Acquisition

National Open Apprenticeship Scheme: 18,942 (B- NOAS 15,242, A – NOAS 3,700)

School – On – Wheels Scheme: 1,009 Rural Agricultural Development Training Scheme: 1,721

Solar Energy Training Scheme: 700 Environmental Beautification Training Scheme/POP 785 Community Based/ National Assembly Constituency Skills Training: 2,270 Community Based Training Scheme 1,800

Sub Total: 20,962

Training in Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship Start – up Development Training Scheme: 156 Micro – Enterprise Enhancement Scheme: 15,208 NDE/ Shell Petroleum Development Company: 100 Women Employment Programme: 1,560

Entrepreneurship sensitization 10,387 Training / Loan disbursement ( National Grid) 14 Micro Business Start-up Training 97

Sub Total: 27,522

Transient/ Labour Based Job

Graduate Attachment Programme (GAP) 700

Graduate Coaching Scheme (instructors ) 1,471

Indigenous Craft project 40

Sub Total 2,211

Enterprises Created

Enterprise Creation Fund Scheme: 1,200 Resettlement Loan Scheme: 1,842

Sub Total: 3,042

Employment Counselling Services 40,839

GRAND TOTAL: 93,576

The modest achievement recorded in the year was easy with the wise council, drive and motivation of the Chairman and Members of the Board of the NDE.

The institutional support of our Collaborating agencies, public and private, provided the impetus to implement the NDE Board approved activities, and due to space constraint I will be limited to mention a few of them, which of course does not undermine the contributions of those that are not mentioned. The National Planning Commission, NPC, National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Bank of Agriculture,BOA, SURE-P, Federal Ministry of Finance (YESSO Unit), Office of the Special Adviser to the President on Job Creation and many NGO’s, FBO’s etc.

Members of the National Assembly collaborated with the NDE to take various community development programmes to their respective communities.

Finally, I wish to acknowledge the efforts of the Federal Government in its desire to fight unemployment.

I sincerely hope that this report will provide the needed information and secondary data to organisations, interest groups, students, researchers and others that may want a documented effort of the Federal Government of Nigeria in fighting unemployment.

SECTION ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Federal Government’s desire to handle the social repercussions of high level of unemployment in the country in 1985 led to the setting up of a committee known as the CHUKWUMA COMMITTEE. The committee was charged with the responsibility “to design strategies that will create mass employment opportunities in the country.” The committee identified from survey that the informal sector whose employee profile is characterized largely by low skilled, semi-skilled or unskilled labour, accounted for up to 90% of the workers distributed unevenly in agriculture and other self-employment ventures. Their findings led to the recommendation to Government for the establishment of an employment creation agency. Consequently, the Federal Government approved the establishment of the NATIONAL DIRECTORATE OF EMPLOYMENT (NDE) on 26th March, 1986 but its programmes were launched nationwide in January, 1987. The NDE’s enabling Act, CAP 250 of the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (formerly Decree No. 34 of 1989) gave the NDE her legal backing as an employment agency statutorily charged with the responsibility to design and implement programmes to combat mass unemployment. To further enhance and streamline the strategies of the NDE in mass job generation, a committee, the AHMED JODA COMMITTEEof 1999 streamlined the activities of the various Poverty Alleviation Agencies in the country. Thus NDE’s activities were streamlined and made to focus mainly on training for job generation with resettlement limited to only symbolic to test the efficacy of her training activities.

MANDATE/FUNCTIONS OF THE NDE

The law establishing the NDE presents its mandated as follows: i. To design and implement programmes to combat mass unemployment; ii. To articulate policies aimed at developing work programmes with labour intensive

potentials; iii. To obtain and maintain a Data Bank on employment and vacancies in the country

with a view to acting as a clearing house to link job seekers with vacancies in collaboration with other government agencies; and

iv. To implement any other policies as may be laid down from time to time by the Board established under sections of the enabling ACT. The NDE therefore derives its routine functions from this mandate. The main goal therefore is to combat mass unemployment through skills acquisition, self-employment and labour-intensive work schemes.

NDE PROGRAMMES/IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

In designing the employment promotion programmes, the National Directorate of Employment took cognizance of the following factors:

i) The declining interest of youths in the agricultural sector which had traditionally provided the bulk of employment, particularly in the rural areas.

ii) The deteriorating condition of urban and rural infrastructure due to the dearth of foreign exchange earnings to procure and maintain construction machinery and equipment as against the surplus labour (unemployed hands) available in the country.

iii) The tertiary institutions graduates’ expectation for non-existent white collar jobs and accompanying employment while their background do not prepare them to take advantage of the opportunities for self-employment in the formal and informal sectors of the economy.

iv) The potentials of the informal sector and the traditional apprenticeship system of skills acquisition to generate self employment.

v) The need to counsel the unemployed for attitudinal re-orientation towards self-employment and self-reliance.

In recognition of the foregoing factors and the distinct target group (unemployed school leavers and graduates), the National Directorate of Employment adopted the following areas of intervention (called the four core programmes of the NDE):

1.2 VOCATIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (VSD)

The Vocational Skills Development programme of the National Directorate of Employment involves the use of informal sector operators such as master crafts-men and women as training outlets for unskilled school leavers. Such school leavers are attached to them for periods long enough for the apprentice to acquire necessary skills. It also includes the deployment of well-equipped mobile workshops to train unemployed youths in rural areas where informal training outlets are non-existent. To date, the training covers several vocational trades across all sectors of the economy. The schemes under the Vocational Skills Development Programme are

a) National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (Basic and Advanced) b) School-on-wheels c) Vocational Skills for Physically challenged and vulnerable persons d) Partnership in Skills Training (PIST)

e) Resettlement Loan Scheme. Training is presently going on in all the schemes under Vocational Skills Development Programme in all the 36 States and FCT Abuja. These are in the Skills Acquisition Centers and some of the informal master crafts men/women.

1.3 SMALL SCALE ENTERPRISES PROGRAMME (SSE)

The Business training programme provided by the National Directorate of Employment covers several areas of business development for various categories of unemployed persons and potential entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurship development programme introduces NYSC members to the opportunities for self-employment and identification of business opportunities as well as business start-up and improvement programmes for school leavers and retired persons. The schemes under the SSE department where action are carried out nationwide (subject to availability of funds) are: a) Business Training - (for Graduates of tertiary institutions and artisans/school leavers

and retirees (Entrepreneurship Development Programme - EDP). This include: i. Enterprise Start-up and development Training Scheme (formerly Start Your Own

Business) ii. Micro Business Skills Training Scheme (formerly Basic Business Training) iii. Advanced Entrepreneurial Development Scheme iv. NDE-Enterprise and Finance Counseling Clinic (NDE-efcc)

b) Loans Disbursement Schemes – Enterprise Creation Fund c) Training for Women in Income Generating Activities d) Common Facility Centres, and e) Collaborations with Government Agencies, Multinational organisations, high profile

individuals and communities.

1.4 RURAL EMPLOYMENT PROMOTION PROGRAMME (REP)

In a bid to awaken the interest of the unemployed youths in agriculture to exploit the tremendous opportunities for employment and wealth creation in the sector and consequently, stem the rural-urban drift of the youths, the NDE designed a special training programme for youths in agriculture. The training programme covers modern agricultural practices in the areas of crop production, livestock management, crop processing, etc. The schemes operational nationwide under REP include: a) Rural Agricultural Development Training Scheme (RADTS) b) Rural Handicraft Training Scheme (RHTS) c) Integrated Farming Training Scheme (IFTS) d) Post-RADTS Training Scheme e) NDE Agricultural Park Project.

To enhance the quality of training under the RADTS, the NDE commenced the establishment of Agricultural Skills Training Centres. At present, about 28 centres have been established with 20 fully operational. The remaining 8 centres are at various stages of completion. Each of these centres has accompanying Demonstration Farms.

1.5 SPECIAL PUBLIC WORK PROGRAMME (SPW)

The construction and maintenance of both urban and rural infrastructure in Nigeria have hitherto depended on heavy, capital-intensive equipment and technology. The trend was efficient and sustainable while the economy was buoyant and graduate and school leaver unemployment constituted no threat to the nation. The NDE therefore views infrastructural construction and maintenance as capable of becoming a labour sponge. The International Labour Organization (ILO) subsequently introduced to the NDE the use of labour based light equipment method of construction and maintenance of rural infrastructure. This was pilot-tested successfully by the NDE and was adopted as an effective employment strategy. In general, the operational schemes under the SPW are: a) Graduate Attachment Programme (GAP) b) Environmental Beautification Training Scheme (EBTS) c) Community Development Scheme (CDS) d) Renewable Energy Development Training Scheme (RETS) e) Graduate Coaching Scheme f) Special Public Works Housing Scheme Other strategies the Directorate adopts in tackling unemployment in the country include:

1.6 EMPLOYMENT COUNSELING SERVICES AND JOB LINKAGES

The Employment counselling services and Job Linkages was designed to ameliorate the disillusionment of Nigerian Youths caused by long period of searching for job and to re-orientate their minds for positive thinking towards self employment and self-reliance. This service is provided by the NDE Job Centres. The centre with its presence in all 36 States offices and Abuja FCT inculcates an attitudinal change on the unemployed to the present realities in the Nigeria Labour Market. The Job Centers thus serve as the gateway to all NDE programmes and schemes, provide Employment Counselling services such as vocational guidance, value reorientation, and pre- participation induction. The centres register, orientate and counsel unemployed youths before business start up or training. Also the Job Centres collaborates with Mentor office and NBS to generate, collate, and maintain all relevant data on employment. The centres also facilitate and promote the realization of self-competence and latent abilities that can be engaged and thus assist in reducing the difficulties faced by young unemployed graduates and every other unemployed person.

This service is available in all the 36 NDE State and FCT offices of the NDE, serving as the “gate-way” into all NDE schemes.

1.7 COLLABORATION WITH AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS

In other to effectively discharge its mandate and functions, the NDE over the years had collaborated with both national and international agencies/organizations. These are in areas of technical support, capacity building assistance as well as in areas of programme delivery. Some of these agencies that were outstanding within the years include – National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), National Planning Commission (NPC), NAPEP, ILO, GTZ, National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), NERFUND, State and Local Governments, Local Communities, Prominent individuals/organizations, National Assembly Members,among others. The benefits accruing from these collaborative arrangements include facilitation of programme delivery strategy, strengthening the Directorate’s internal capacity and development and enhanced financing of projects.

1.8 ESTABLISHMENT OF MODERN VOCATIONAL SKILLS ACQUISITION CENTRES

From the inception of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) the vocational skills acquisition initiative of the Directorate relied strongly on the use of master craftsmen and women within the informal sector for the purpose of delivering vocational training to recruited trainees. This system in itself has a number of shortcomings, principal among which are the issues of quality, standards, uniform curriculum and possible certification. In 2008, NDE began to chart a new course in its efforts at raising the standards, quality and global acceptance/application of the skills of its beneficiaries by bridging the earlier mentioned gaps. This culminated in the design of skills acquisition centres to be owned and ran by the Directorate. With support from the MDG Office under the Debt Relief Gains (DRG) programme, the first set of skills acquisition centres were established through the renovation and equipping of disused public structures. Driven by the desire to deepen and consolidate on the gains from the establishment of the first set of 18 Skills Acquisition Centres, the NDE conceived and began the construction of more Skills Acquisition Centres in some states in Nigeria. This concept is to provide a near perfect teaching and learning environment complete with boarding facilities suitable for skills acquisition and to serve as a model to other stakeholders in the fight against unemployment through skills acquisition. As at end of 2014, the NDE has established a total of 74 centres in 28 States. Eight of these centres are Model Skills Acquisition Centres, provided with boarding facilities for both male and female trainees. Some are designed to provide both Vocational and Agricultural Skills

training simultaneously. In general, all the model centres are provided with the following facilities and structures:

An Administrative block A block of three (3) classrooms A block of three (3) workshops Kitchen and Dining hall 2 hostel blocks A functional borehole with over-head water tank and completed reticulation works Gate house VIP Toilets Generator house with an installed 30KVA power generating set Chain-link perimeter fencing Furniture and equipment for six (6) skill sets provided Double bunk beds, lockers and mattresses for the hostels Cooking and eating utensils equally provided

The Centres have the capacity to handle about 200 trainees per training cycle. Each centre is equipped to train in at least five (5) trades from the following Vocational Skills: 1. Auto-tronics (Advanced Auto- Mechanics) 2. Computer Operations and Engineering 3. Welding and Fabrication 4. Plumbing 5. Electrical Installation 6. GSM Handsets Repairs and 7. Fashion Designing On the other hand, the Bwari (FCT) and Araromi-Asa (Kwara State) centres are provided with additional Agricultural skills training in the following skill sets: 1. Cattle Fattening 2. Grass Cutter Production 3. Sheep and Goat Rearing 4. Poultry Production 5. Dry Season Farming and 6. Crop Production and Processing 7. Fish farming The remaining 67 centres are provided with facilities that impact vocational and technical skills in about 10 demand-driven skills. For the NDE, this project is a realization of a dream to make qualitative skills acquisition a potent instrument for mass job creation and poverty reduction in Nigeria. While 47 had been completed and operational, 28 are at various stages of completion (renovation and furnishing).

STRUCTURE/ORGANOGRAM OF THE NDE

At the apex of NDE’s organizational structure is the Management Board chaired by the Honourable Minister of Labour and Productivity. While the Board is charged with the responsibility of policy formulation for the Directorate’s operations, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity serves as the supervising Ministry of the NDE. The Directorate has four (4) core programmes departments. Four support service departments assist the programmes departments in ensuring that the mandate of the Directorate is adequately achieved. All the eight (8) departments are headed by Directors who report to the Director – General. The corporate headquarters of the NDE is located at No. 1, Nouakchott Street, Zone 1, Wuse, Abuja. To strengthen programme implementation and projects monitoring, six Zonal Offices in the six geo-political zones of North East, North West, North Central, South East, South West and South South Zones were created. Each Zonal Office is manned by a Director on Grade Level 17. NDE’s presence is established in all 36 states of the Federation and the FCT to implement programmes designed at the Headquaters. The State offices are manned by State Coordinators who are of the Deputy Directorate level on grade level 16 and are accountable to the Director General. In order to have adequate grassroot impact and coverage in the discharge of its mandate, the NDE has Desk/Liaison Officers at the Local Government Council Areas, who ensure adequate coverage and implementation of all its employment generations schemes. The programme and support services departments are complimented by branches and units to facilitate employment programme delivery. These programme and service departments, branches/units are replicated in aiithe 36 States offices and FCT. They are:

i. PROGRAMME DEPARTMENTS Vocational Skills Development (VSD) Rural Employment Promotion (REP) Small Scale Enterprises (SSE) Special Public Works (SPW)

ii. SERVICE DEPARTMENTS

Planning, Research and Statistics Human Resources Management Finance and Accounts Inspectorate

iii. BRANCHES/UNITS Collaboration Branch Job Centre Women Employment Branch Information and Public Relations Internal Audit Loans, Properties and Utilities Resource Centre & Library.

30 NDE 2014 ANNUAL REPORT

SECTION TWO

2.0 VOCATIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (VSD)

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The Vocational Skills Development as one of the programme departments of the National Directorate of Employment is primarily concerned with bequeathing veritable & marketable skills to the unemployed youths in the country. The skills acquisition training interventionintroduced as a novel approach in combating mass unemployment in the country has remained a veritable tool since the inception of the NDE. The strategies adopted over the years have remained valid and relevant though with their inherent potentials and challenges. The main objectives of the Vocational Skills Development Programme (VSD) can be summed as follows: a. To provide technical & vocational training for holders of Primary School Certificates,

Secondary School Certificates, School dropouts and those with vertical literacy education.

b. To equip the youths with such skills that will enhance their employability either

through self-employment or wage employment. c. To provide alternative employment opportunities for youths by encouraging them to

form cooperatives and thus start their own businesses. In order to achieve the above stated objectives, the following schemes were adopted and implemented by the VSD department in 2014 nationwide: 1. National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (NOAS) which consists of;

a. Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme {B NOAS} b. Advanced National Open Apprenticeship Scheme {A NOAS}

School on Wheels Scheme (SOW) 2. Community-Based Training Scheme [CBTS] 3. Resettlement Loan Scheme RLS) 4. Partnership in Skills Training (PIST)

2.2 NATIONAL OPEN APPRENTICESHIP SCHEME (NOAS)

The National Open Apprenticeship Scheme is one of the key schemes of the department because of its mass employment generation potential. The scheme is targeted at unskilled and unemployed youths both male and female to equip and up skill them with relevant demand driven skills. The scheme is implemented at two levels namely:


a. Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (B-NOAS) b. Advanced National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (A-NOAS)

2.3BASIC NATIONAL OPEN APPRENTICESHIP SCHEME (B NOAS)

The Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme (B NOAS) is designed to empower the unemployed and unskilled school leavers/youths through skills acquisition training. The youths are recruited and posted to master craftsmen and women who are informal sectors operators for skills acquisition training. These trainers use their training facilities to impart skills to the unemployed youths for period long enough for them to learn a particular skill. In 2008, the NDE commenced the establishment of Skills Acquisition Centres (SACs) to be used for various skills acquisition schemes. This is to ensure standardization of quality among others in training. As at date, the Directorate has a total of 74 Vocational Skills Acquisition Centres in 26 states and Abuja FCT. 42 of them are fully operational while 32 centres are at various stages of completion. In 2014, a total of 15,242 traineesparticipated in B NOAS nationwide, 8,573 (56.2%) were males while the females accounted for 6,669 (43.8%). This figure is made up of 4,937 spill-over from 2013 and 10,305 recruited with the year. The total number of graduate trainees within the year from this scheme was 9,518 thus leaving a balance of 5,606 to complete their training early in 2015 with 118 recorded drop outs nationwide.

It is pertinent to note that the 42 SACs accounted for 6,265 trainees (41.1%) while the informal master crafts men and women trained 8,977 (58.9%) of all participants of the scheme in 2014. (See Table 4)

2.4ADVANCED- NATIONAL OPEN APPRENTICESHIP SCHEME [A-NOAS]

The Advanced-NOAS, which is designed for artisans who are graduates of the B-NOAS is, aimed at up skilling them for higher level of competence. During the period under review, one hundred (100) B-NOAS graduates were recruited in each of the 36 states and the FCT totaling three thousand, seven hundred [3,700]. The trainees were attached to corporate trainers for a period of three months, from 1st September 2014 to November 2014. At the end of the training session, a total of 3,685 trainees graduated from about five different demand-driven skills peculiar to each state. (Table 5 and Fig.5)

2.5SCHOOL-ON –WHEELS SCHEME (SOW)

The School- On –Wheels scheme [SOW] was designed to articulate training activities in the rural areas with a view to creating a pool of artisans that will readily address the skills- needs of the rural environment and therefore promote economic activities therein.


During the period under review, a total of one thousand, two hundred and fifty one (1,009) trainees were trained in various skills under the scheme in ten (10) different states. It is worthy to note that the NDE sponsored all the SOW training cycles this year. The breakdown is as below (Table 7):

Traditionally, under IFTS 20 beneficiaries are empowered with loan packages to start and manage their mixed farms at the designated IFTS centres. Each beneficiary obtained credit facility made up of 1 ha of land for crop production and pen or kraal stocked with livestock and working capital. The beneficiaries are supported to succeed with extension, technical and financial advisory services and mentorship. In the period under review this scheme was not implemented due to paucity of funds.

4.6 RURAL HANDICRAFTS TRAINING SCHEME (RHTS)

This scheme involves training rural-farmers (participants) in the production and marketing viable handicrafts within the rural areas using localily sourced raw materials. Normally, the training last for four months with the objectives of generating another stream of income for the farmers during the off-season and reduce idle time.

CURRENT SCHEMES OF SPW: Graduate Attachment Programme (GAP) Environmental Beautification Training Scheme (EBTS) Graduate Coaching Scheme (GCS) Solar Energy Training Scheme (SETS)

5.1 GRADUATE ATTACHMENT PROGRAMME:

Consequent upon the realisation of lack of requisite experience needed by employers in both public and private sector organisations for which fresh graduates of tertiary institutions do not possess, as a way out of this impediment, the graduate attachment programme is designed to provide unemployed graduates with practical experience and skills through hands on training for a period of six months in reputable organisations where their services are needed with regard to their area of specialization.

The benefitting organisations find it as a resourceful avenue to fish out suitable qualified candidates for specific jobs in their establishments/organisations thus offering the attachees permanent employment on completion of their attachment.

5.1.1 ACHIEVEMENT OF GAP:

In the period under review, a total of 700 (Seven Hundred) persons at the rate of 20 persons per state in 34 (thirty-four) states of the federation and FCT benefitted from the programme.

5.2 ENVIRONMENTAL BEAUTIFICATION TRAINING SCHEME:

The Environmental Beautification Training Scheme (EBTS) is a skill acquisition scheme that trains unemployed youths participating in the programme on hard and soft landscaping as well as application of Plaster of Paris (POP). The scheme enhances the aesthetic views and beautified our cities, towns and homes.

5.2.1 ACHIEVEMENT OF EBTS:

During the review period, a total of 785 (Seven Hundred and Eighty-Five) persons were recruited and placed on training. A spatial distribution of the participants by sex is shown on figure 8.


5.3 GRADUATE COACHING SCHEME:

The Graduate Coaching Scheme is a novel approach by the NDE to address the deficiency in students grades obtained in various WASCE/NECO/JAMB and other tertiary institutions entrance examinations. The scheme also tackles graduate unemployment. It basically involves the recruitment of graduates of tertiary institutions with BSC/HND bias in education as instructors to coach the students preparing for the aforementioned examinations. The expected outcome is helping the indigent students prepare for the external examinations and providing employment for graduates who were hitherto unemployed.

5.3.1 ACHIEVEMENT OF GCS:

The GCS was successfully implemented in twenty states during the review period and a total of 1471 (One Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy-one) graduates of tertiary institutions who were hitherto unemployed became employed and served as instructors.

5.4 SOLAR ENERGY TRAINING SCHEME:

The Solar Energy Training Scheme (SETS) of the Directorate was designed taking cognizance of the need for alternative source of energy as a result of epileptic power supply and her employment potentials. These dual objectives have been realised. In its five years of implementation more than one thousand youths who were hitherto unemployed are now either self or wage employed. The scheme involves training on maintenance and installation of solar system as well as procurement of solar panels.

5.4.1 ACHIEVEMENT OF SETS:

During the review period, a total of 700 (Seven Hundred ) persons benefitted from the scheme in thirty four states and FCT. The scheme was not implemented in two states of Borno and Yobe to due insurgency.
